Case Study Simplifying the Treatment of Skin Tears in Long Term Care: A Case Series

This study demonstrated one approach used at a Long Term Care facility to reduce pain and decrease costs associated with the management of skin tears. Complete closure of the wound occured in all five patients in less than one month, with one or two dressing changes each. The staff liked the ability to observe the wound through the dressing and no problems were encountered upon removal of the dressing. The results demonstrated the need for further study into the wound healing benefits of absorbent clear acrylic dressing in the management of skin tears and its cost effectiveness.

Tegaderm™ Absorbent Clear Acrylic Dressing was superior to ConvaTec DuoDERM® CGF® in the management of Stage II and shallow Stage III pressure ulcers. The clinicians also rated the wear time as significantly better than DuoDERM® CGF®. Tegaderm™ Absorbent Clear Acrylic Dressing left less residue in wound and on the periwound skin and in addition, there was significantly less odour. A high value on the transparent features of the dressing was noted which may facilitate fewer dressing changes resulting in improved patient comfort, nursing productivity and treatment costs.

Case Studies Treatment of a venous ulcer and pyoderma gangrenosum with 3M™ Tegaderm™ Alginate dressings

Two very difficult case studies had been treated with several different treatment options before using Tegaderm™ Alginate Dressings. The use of the Tegaderm™ High Gelling Alginate Dressing on the venous ulcer helped with debridement. The Tegaderm™ Alginate Dressings had good absorption capacity which reduced maceration on the remaining skin. Together these dressings helped granulation tissue formation and facilitated other treatment methods. Compared to other alginate products, Tegaderm™ High Integrity Alginate Dressing was preferred based on clinical performance characteristics.

Randomized clinical trial comparing Hydrofiber and alginate dressings for the management of post-op hip replacement

Randomized controlled trial comparing the use of Tegaderm™ High Integrity Alginate Dressing to ConvaTec AqUACEL® for the management of post-op hip replacements. Of the 201 patients included in the study, those in the alginate group were found to have fewer blisters and were less likely to report pain than those in the Hydrofiber group.

CHRONIC WOUNDS

Tegaderm™ Non-Adherent Contact Layer

Case Series Evaluating the effectiveness of Tegaderm™ Contact Layer wound-contact material

During wound healing, a newly forming granulation tissue is often extremely fragile and can be easily disrupted during dressing changes. This can lead to a delay in the completion of wound healing and increased pain and discomfort for the patient. This case series included 12 patients, of which eight patients felt Tegaderm™ Non-Adherent Contact Layer was beneficial to their wounds and was comfortable. The results of this study suggest that Tegaderm™ Non-Adherent Contact Layer is an easy-to-use, comfortable and effective advanced wound-contact material that can minimize the patient’s experience of pain at dressing changes.

Results of a dermal ulcer study with a new wound contact material

In this study, the use of Tegaderm™ Non-Adherent Contact Layer was successfully used on various wounds, including arterial, venous stasis and diabetic ulcers. The wound contact material demonstrated minimal adherence to the tissue, and its porosity allowed exudate to pass from the wound to the outer dressing. With its use, daily dressing changes are possible with minimal trauma and disruption to the wound-repair process. Tegaderm™ Non-Adherent Contact Layer was determined to be significantly less adherent to the wound and peri-wound areas than gauze.
