“…This makes them waterproof and practically impermeable to gases. 57 Hasatsri et al 58 compared the WVTRs of different dressing and showed that hydrocolloids had the lowest WVTRs. 59 Wu et al 60 studied the effect of Duo-DERM hydrocolloid dressing on the WVTRs of full-thickness burns, deep-partial thickness burns, and chronic leg ulcers.…”

Significance: A moist wound environment has several benefits that result in faster and better quality of healing. It facilitates autolytic debridement, reduces pain, reduces scarring, activates collagen synthesis, facilitates and promotes keratinocyte migration over the wound surface, and supports the presence and function of nutrients, growth factors, and other soluble mediators in the wound microenvironment. Recent Advances: Wound dressings can be utilized to create, maintain, and control a moist environment for healing. Moist wound dressings can be divided into films, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, and alginates. We are also including negative pressure wound therapy systems in the moist dressings. Critical Issues: An optimal wound dressing should provide a moist environment and have an optimal water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and absorptive capacity. It should also protect the wound against trauma and contamination and be easy to apply, painless to remove, and esthetically acceptable or even pleasing. Future Directions: Interventions, particularly dressing changes, by medical caregivers are labor intensive and expensive and there should be a continuous effort to reduce their number per week. Smart dressings with integrated microsensors and delivery capabilities that would allow wireless real-time monitoring and treatment of the wound would be very advantageous. This way the state of the wound as well as the wear time of the dressing could be assessed without dressing removal or visit to the wound care center. In addition, an ability to adjust the WVTRs to the exudate level of the wound (or having a large absorptive capacity without changing the WVTR) would be useful. This feature would guarantee an optimal level of hydration of the wound surface throughout the treatment.

“…To calculate the WRC SA , Equation (2), WRC of starch-alginate mixtures was measured. These WRC values were higher than WRC CS , due to alginates retained relevant amounts of available water in formulations (Hasatsri et al, 2018). The WRC of commercial sodium alginates was 12.09 ± 1.08 and 10.16 ± 2.37 (g water/g d.b.)…”

“…What is the ideal dressing for STSG donor sites remains debatable in the literature [ 15 ]. Alginate dressing is reported to have a high absorption capacity and high dehydration rate when compared to other types of wound dressings [ 16 - 17 ]. However, they can be painful to remove and cause higher hyperkeratosis of healed scars.…”

Herein, we compare the outcomes of polyurethane and calcium alginate dressings for split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites.A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted with a search of electronic databases to identify all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing the outcomes of polyurethane dressing versus calcium alginate for STSG donor sites. Primary outcomes were pain intensity, convenience for staff and patients, and adverse effects (namely, excessive exudate, infection rate, and hematoma). Secondary outcome measures included the assessment of healing, dressing changes, cosmetic appearance, and cost. Fixed and random-effect models were used for the analysis.Four RCTs enrolling 127 subjects were identified. There was no significant difference between polyurethane and calcium alginate in terms of pain intensity on Day 1 (mean difference (MD) 0.13, P = 0.80) and Day 5 (MD = 0.20, P = 0.38), as well as the ease of application (odds ratio (OR) = 3.08, P = 0.47). However, there was a statistically significant improvement in patient comfort, favouring the polyurethane group (OR = 44.11, P < 0.00001). In addition, no statistically significant differences were noted in terms of adverse effects between the two dressings. In terms of cost, the calcium gluconate dressing had an overall higher cost compared to polyurethane.Polyurethane is a more favourable dressing compared to calcium alginate for STSG donor sites in terms of patient comfort, healing, and cosmetic outcomes. However, comparable results were noted in terms of pain intensity, ease of application, and adverse effects profile. Cost-effectiveness analysis studies are required to justify its routine use.
