title: Wound dressings.
abstract: Wound healing is a complex rebuilding process that may be easily disrupted if dressings and topical applications are chosen unwisely. There is now a consensus of opinion on the attributes of an ideal dressing. There are many dressings available, each possessing certain of these attributes. There is a shortage of clinical trials in this area.
