Andersson E. Report on Experiences with a new Hydroactive Wound Dressing for Treating Leg Ulcers. Klinik Magazin 1991; No 12. 

Objectives

To collect initial experiences on the use of CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro on a selection of longstanding and poorly healing ulcers.

Materials and Methods

CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro was used in conjunction with compression therapy.

Number and Type of Patients

Patients with longstanding, poorly healing ulcers.

Protocol and Duration of Study

CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro was placed on the ulcer, and compression bandaging was then applied. Dressings were changed at intervals of 2 to 3 days.

Results

Dressing change was quick and painless, making CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro easy to use and acceptable to patients. The dressing absorbed well and without dissolution or tearing. 

Conclusion

The initial practical experience of CUTINOVA^◊ Hydro is positive, not least because it saves treatment time and is readily accepted by the patients.
