title: [Dressings for malodorous wounds].
abstract: While sensitivity to odours varies from one individual to another, bad smells can instinctively and uncontrollably induce nausea and revulsion. Different treatment strategies can be implemented. They consist in neutralising the odours, adding more pleasant smells and/or targeting the bacteria. The management of odours remains a complex problem without any universal or single solution. Odour control must not be used as a replacement for adapted hygiene and wound care.
