“…This value is projected to reach $26.24 billion by the end of 2023. Optimal wound care requires clinicians' understanding of wound etiology, wound chronicity, the mechanism and biology of wound healing, and factors that affect wound healing (Ather et al, 2019). The first consideration must be given to accurate diagnosis of wound etiology and appropriate treatment, followed by appropriate dressing selection (Ather et al, 2019;Olsson et al, 2019).…”

“…The need to enhance clinicians' knowledge of dressing selection and assessment skills in wound management is of great importance globally (Zakrasek et al, 2014;Norman et al, 2015;Franks et al, 2016;Münter, 2016;Ayello et al, 2017;Stuart-Shor et al, 2017;Timmins et al, 2018) Maintaining a moist wound environment to optimize healing is a well-established evidence-based practice (Han and Ceilley, 2017). When compared with traditional passive dressings used to cover wounds, first-line interactive/bioactive dressings provide a moist, conducive environment to facilitate improved healing (Ather et al, 2019). Interactive dressings alter the wound environment and interact with the wound surface to promote wound healing (Sussman, 2014;Weller and Team, 2019).…”

Wound management is a significant and growing issue worldwide. Knowledge of dressing products and clinical expertise in dressing selection are two major components in holistic wound management to ensure evidence-based wound care. With expanding global market of dressing products, there is need to update clinician knowledge of dressing properties in wound care. Optimal wound management depends on accurate patient assessment, wound diagnosis, clinicians' knowledge of the wound healing process and properties of wound dressings. We conducted a comprehensive review of the physical properties of wound dressing products, including the advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications and effectiveness of first-line interactive/bioactive dressing groups commonly used in clinical practice. These include semipermeable films, foams, hydroactives, alginates, hydrofibers, hydrocolloids, and hydrogels. In making decisions regarding dressing product selection, clinicians need to ensure a holistic assessment of patient and wound etiology, and understand dressing properties when making clinical decisions using wound management guidelines to ensure optimal patient outcomes. This review has highlighted there is lack of high quality evidence and the need for future well designed trials.

“…Good protection against secondary infections and mechanical damage, and sterilizability, non-adherence, non-toxicity, non-allergenic and nonsensitizing are also the basic criteria of a good wound dressing. [4][5][6] There are various types of wound dressings on the existing market designed for different wounds, such as foam, alginate, hydrofiber and silver dressings. 2,7 However, there is no one dressing that can be applied to manage all types of wounds; the type of dressing used depends on the type and the condition of the wound.…”

Wound management has become more sophisticated as modern wound dressings now focus more on providing an optimal microclimate for wound healing. As a novel three-dimensional textile material, warp-knitted spacer fabrics are versatile enough to meet special requirements when their parameters are changed. This paper reports on an experimental study on the required physical properties of warp-knitted spacer fabrics that can be developed as an absorbent layer for advanced wound dressing. Three types of wound dressings available on the market have been chosen that are especially used for burns and ulcers, as they are designed to provide good absorbing of extrudes and a cushioning effect. The physical properties of spacer fabrics, including air permeability, thermal conductivity, water vapor permeability, absorbency and compression, are evaluated and compared with those of existing wound dressings. The results show that the air and water vapor permeabilities and the thermal conductivity of warp-knitted spacer fabrics are competitive enough to prove that spacer fabrics can also provide a good ventilated environment for wound healing. Their good compressional resistance and compressional resilience indicate that warp-knitted spacer fabrics can provide good protection as wound dressings. Although their absorbency is only somewhat better than some of the wound dressings, they are also good for wounds with no heavy extrudes.
