title: [The use of new dressing resources in the nursing consultation].
abstract: The author performed the treatment of infected or non-infected wounds with the association of papain and 2 types of synthetic dressings: activated charcoal cloth dressing and hydrocolloid dressing. Eighteen (18) patients, mean age 58.4 years, were followed during 20 dressings. The treatment period was 2 1/2 months-3 months. The infected wounds were treated with the activated charcoal cloth dressing and the non-infected wounds with the hydrocolloid dressing. The evolution of wound healing until the tenth dressing, (about 1 month of treatment) showed that area initially affected was reduced between 48.6% and 89.7% until the twentieth dressing.
