Abstract:Non-antimicrobial wound dressings can remove bacteria from wound surfaces through mechanisms such as binding and immobilization, which may contribute to antimicrobial stewardship. Methods: This study evaluated four different types of dressings (gauze, carboxymethylcellulose gelling fiber [CMC], dialkylcarbamoyl chloride [DACC] hydrophobic coated fibers, and polyurethane [PU] foam) for removal of planktonic bacteria (all dressings) and mature biofilm bacteria (CMC, DACC and PU foam dressings) in vitro.
