title: 'Last-resort' dressings for intractable pressures sores.
abstract: Twenty-five years of recommending dressing techniques for the most intractable pressure sores has taught the author some interesting lessons about the practical problems of wound healing when all else has failed. It is hoped that these personal experiences and opinions will be of some help to the many nurses who are involved in the management of pressure sores and chronic wounds.
