“…Biologically active dressings, based on collagen (103,104), chitosan (105), hyaluronic acid (106,107), peptides (108) and growth factors (109,110), have been developed and evaluated, but most still require pivotal data to substantiate widespread use in beyond‐difficult‐to‐heal wounds. This generally relates to their significant unit cost and the unavailability of good cost‐effective data.…”

Over the past 30 years as caregivers, clinicians have been exposed to a plethora of new advanced wound dressings. The moist wound care revolution began in the 1970s with the introduction of film and hydrocolloid dressings, and today these are the traditional types of dressings of the advanced dressing categories. Wound-healing science has progressed significantly over the same period, as a result of intense clinical and scientific research around these product introductions. Today, the clinician understands moist wound healing, occlusion, cost effectiveness, wound bed preparation and MMP activity to name but a few of the many concepts in wound care that have flourished as a result of technology and product advancement. This review article presents a condensed history of dressing development over the past 30 years. However, in addition, such advancement is discussed in respect to its adoption in different parts of the world. The largest single markets of the world are generally the United States of America and Europe; as such, the development of both practice and technology generally begins there. Much has been written about these markets in previous review articles. For the purposes of this review, the development of wound care and the maturing of practice is discussed in respect to Canada, Japan and Australia representing smaller geographical areas where the development has been more recent but nonetheless significant.

“…Like the African literature [4] [5], age was not a factor that could influence the quality of the surgical site healing. On the other hand, according to Skodan [6] in the West, the age of the patient is a factor that influences the incidence of infection of the operative site.…”

Objective: To compare the evolution of the operative site in the presence or absence of an occlusive skin dressing. Patients and methods: Prospective, comparative study that took place at the University Hospital of Brazzaville from January 1st to August 31st, 2016. 120 patients were randomly recruited divided into two groups: A study group consisting of 60 patients without a dressing and a control group consisting of 60 patients. Results: Sociodemographic characteristics were similar in both groups, as well as pre-and intraoperative characteristics. Postoperative complications included parietal infection (3 vs. 4 cases, p > 0.05), one case of disunion, and one case of skin irritation by the plaster in the study group. The duration of healing was shorter in the control group compared to the study group (11 ± 2 days vs. 12 ± 2, p > 0.05). The average cost of care equipment was 3.5 times higher for the group with dressing (5120 FCFA vs. 18620 FCFA, p < 0.05). In the study group, only one patient was afraid of seeing her wound. Patients in the control group were less satisfied, indeed they dreaded the time of removal of the plaster because of the pain.
