Abstract
Bianchi et al. (2011) suggested that foam dressings appear to have similar clinical outcomes, indicating that clinicians make decisions to choose one particular dressing over another for a variety of reasons, such as wear time and specific user features. This paper describes a case report series that observed the performance of an adhesive foam dressing to absorb wound exudate, promote healing, remain in situ and avoid skin stripping on removal.
