The purpose of management of the donor is to maintain a moist condition that promotes healing process and prevents pain, infection. We have performed a prospective study to compare the usefulness between Aquacel Ag(R) and Mepitel(R).METHODS:
36 consecutive patients, in whom STSG was performed, were included into the study. STSG are harvested as a usual manner and the donor site are dressed with Aquacel Ag(R) or Mepitel(R), alternatively. The usefulness are compared with re-epithelialization, pain, frequency to change the second dressing, and ease of application.RESULTS:
There are no differences in the days of re-epithelialization, pain perception of patients, but significantly differences in frequency to change the second dressing, and ease of application. Aquacel Ag(R) is better than Mepitel(R).CONCLUSION:
We concluded that Aquacel Ag(R) dressing is better than Mepitel(R) for STSG donor site just in the frequency to change the second dressing and ease of application.
