2022, International Journal of PharmaceuticsCitation Excerpt :With traditional treatments rarely producing satisfactory outcomes, it is important to acquire effective strategies for HTS prevention (Amini-Nik et al., 2018; Bloemen et al., 2009; Finnerty et al., 2016; Luo et al., 2021; Monstrey et al., 2014; Sorkin et al., 2017). Selecting the appropriate dressing for a specific individual is indispensable for promoting optimum healing, managing symptoms, for incrementing comfort and overall patient quality of living (Derakhshandeh et al., 2018; Nischwitz et al., 2019; Nischwitz et al., 2021; Panasci, 2014). In describing the ideal dressing, many researchers have proposed that a dressing should be atoxic, non-allergenic and biocompatible, maintain an appropriate moist healing environment, and promote an undisturbed healing environment for the wound.

2022, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :The ability to absorb tissue seepage is limited, and after being soaked by tissue seepage liquid basically lost the protective effect of the barrier, resulting in exogenous infection [17]. Ideal skin wound dressings need to meet the following requirements (Fig. 2): (a) Good histocompatibility, does not cause toxicity, inflammation or immune response; (b) Maintains a moist environment on the wound surface with good moisture retention, promotes cell hydration and absorbs wound exudate [22–25]; (c) It has mechanical properties similar to human skin and ensures its integrity in dry and wet conditions to avoid external bacterial invasion due to material damage [26,27]; (d) Protects the wound from secondary infection, has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory [28–30] (e) suitable pore density and pore size allow the skin to maintain a certain degree of air permeability, promoting the normal growth of granulation and epithelial tissue [31]; (f) Low adhesiveness in the later stage of healing. Easily removed without wound trauma to facilitate new tissue production.
