Current status in biopolymer
film dressings focuses on providing optimal healing conditions considering all the healing mechanisms [96].
Although the CHG adhesive formulation will initially be commercialized as a transparent
film dressing, potential future applications could include surgical incise films and post-op dressings.
The BeneHold Transparent
Film Dressing consists of a thin transparent polyurethane film and transparent latex-free acrylic adhesive that allow clinicians to continuously observe a catheter site or wound and ensure conformability.
Transparent
film dressings designed for wounds, such as Tegaderm, Bioclusive, and Opsite, aim to protect and keep wounds moist and thereby speed healing and reduce pain.
The wound care dressings segment has been classified into antimicrobial dressings, foam dressings, hydrocolloid dressings,
film dressings, alginate dressings, hydrogel dressings, and other dressings.
Dressings Bring hydrocolloid dressings (for minor cuts which are weeping); waterproof
film dressings (for wounds which are dry); skin closures are thin, sticky, antiseptic strips which hold together the edges of deep cuts and grazes.
