title: Clinical and scientific data of a hydropolymer range of dressings.
abstract: The Tielle trade mark family (Johnson and Johnson Medical) is a range of hydropolymer foam dressings that come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are designed to fit the different types and locations of wounds that occur in practice. There are three types: Tielle, Tielle Lite and Tielle Plus. Each can be based on the characteristics of the primary dressing, if any, and on the degree of exudate that the wound is producing. This article aims to give an overview of the range and a summary of research-based clinical and scientific evidence to support clinical practice.
