Abstract:
The authors carry out a study on a dressing which associates hydrocolloids and a lubricating material, Vaseline, used on 28 patients who suffer from acute or chronic wounds having diverse etiologies. The authors evaluate the biological process through which each wound builds scar tissue, its tolerance, efficiency and degree of acceptance with results which are frankly positive. The data in this study for these parameters coincide with those of other research projects which have been carried out in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
