Film-forming wound dressings show promise for healing skin injuries in preterm infants. This study suggests these dressings can aid wound care for fragile neonatal skin.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal dermatology
- Wound healing
- Medical device technology
Background:
- Preterm infants possess immature skin, increasing vulnerability to injury.
- Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) interventions pose risks for skin breakdown.
- Limited evidence exists for effective wound care in preterm neonates.
