[Does the elastic rapid wound dressing Ankerplast Spray modify wound healing?].
It had been tested if the elastic wound-dressing Ankerplast Spray reduces the risk of an infection of wounds, and if any influences could be observed on the formation of scars after spray-sealing of fresh surgical wounds. In a prospective, controlled study of 597 patients 567 could be postoperatively surveyed at all fixed terms of control up to the 56th day. The infection rate of wounds after general surgical operations amounted to a total of 7 per cent. The rate of hypertrophic scars within the control group was with 11 per cent respectively 7 per cent significantly below the rate of 34 per cent of hypertrophic scars within the Spray group. Are fresh surgical operation wounds being sealed with the elastic wound-dressing Ankerplast Spray no influence can be observed on the postoperative risk of wound infections. Hypertrophic scars must be taken in consideration in about 34 per cent.
