ABSTRACT

A new dressing for chronic wounds, BioFilm hydrogel dressing, was compared to a hydrocolloid dressing (HCD) control in a clinical trial involving 90 patients and 129 Stage I and II wounds (defined by Enis and Sarmienti). The testing sites included both acute care and extended care facilities. A comparison of healing response and functional characteristics of both dressings was part of this assessment. Biofilm dressings demonstrated a healing advantage over the HCD. In addition, clinicians judged that the hydrogel dressings were easier to use and had superior fluid management capability and product integrity with minimal disruption to the healing wounds.
