A New Hydrophilic Copolymer Membrane for Dermabrasion

Abstract

Omiderm, a hydrophilic copolymer membrane, is a new dressing for the postoperative care of the dermabrasion patient. The unique physical properties of this dressing will be examined. Based on the clinical experiences presented, suggestions will be outlined that facilitate the best results from its use following dermabrasion.

Recessive Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophicans (Hallopeau‐Siemens)—Improvement of Wound Healing by Autologous Epidermal Grafts on an Esterified Hyaluronic Acid Membrane

“…This thin and flexible membrane is characterized by a high water flux of about 5000 g/m 2 /24 hours but impermeability to biologic particles such as blood cells and high‐molecular weight fluids. On the other hand, it is capable of absorbing water up to 100% of its weight (7).…”

Treatment of chronic radiation ulcers with recombinant platelet‐derived growth factor and a hydrophilic copolymer membrane

“…This thin and flexible membrane is characterized by a high water flux of about 5000 g/m 2 per 24 h but impermeability to biological particles such as blood cells and high‐molecular weight fluids. On the other hand it is capable of absorbing water up to 100% of its weight 14 . By combining of PDGF gel with a thin translucent membrane, the wounds could easily be controlled without unnecessary removal of the wound dressing.…”

Burn Treatment with Transparent Polyurethane Wound Dressing (Omiderm): Two Case Reports

“…7 Bu yara örtüsü ayrıca, dermabrazyon yapılan hastaların cerrahi sonrası bakımında, serbest fleplerde kapiller dolumun izlenmesine izin veren bir kapatıcı örtü olarak, deri greftlerinde, CO 2 lazer ile deri yenileme işlemi sonrasında ve trombosit kö-kenli büyüme faktörüyle birlikte kronik radyasyon ülserlerinde kullanılmıştır. [8][9][10][11][12] Omiderm üzerine antibakteriyel ilaçların kullanılabilmesi ve örtünün bakterilere geçirgen olmaması nedeni ile yara enfeksiyonu riski çok azdır. Bununla birlikte, bir bebekte bu yara örtüsünün yanık yarası üzerine uygulanması sonrasında toksik şok sendromu geliştiği bildirilmiştir.…”
