Summary
Octenidine-based antiseptics with tie-over dressings (TOD) show promise for improving skin graft healing in high-risk patients. This approach may reduce complications and the need for repeat procedures in individuals with comorbidities.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Surgical Innovation
- Wound Healing Research
Background:
- Skin transplantation complications like infection and delayed healing are common in patients with comorbidities.
- Inefficient perfusion in high-risk patients often necessitates repeat surgical procedures.
