Randomized Controlled TrialRandomized controlled trial of the absorbency of four dressings and their effects on the evaporation of burn wounds.
Wound dressings are divided into traditional and new types. The new dressings are thought to accelerate wound healing. The purpose of this study was to supplement the scanty data on the absorbency of the new dressings and their effects on evaporation from the burn surface. ⋯ All four dressings have water retention capacity while carbon fiber dressing has the highest absorption rate and shows the best containment and evaporation from the burn wound.
