The in vitro gaseous transmission of wound dressings.
The permeation properties of dressings to gases are important to the healing processes. It is necessary that dressings are permeable to water vapour, oxygen and carbon dioxide. A series of commercially available dressings have been assessed in vitro in respect of their permeability characteristics to these gases.
