title: Water vapour permeance: a meaningful measure for water vapour permeability of wound coverings.
abstract: For comparison of the evaporative water loss through wound coverings, it is necessary to have an accurate and reliable method of measurement. The water vapour permeance (WVP), obtained with the Evaporimeter, meets these requirements, under both in vitro and in vivo circumstances.
