I am currently using a hydrogel bandaid on my very deep dog bite on my finger. I am so grateful for this knowledge. I have seen the difference moist wound healing between the different ways of healing in my own body. The wound literally heals from the inside up to the top eventually all without a scab. It is amazing. I skipped taking antibiotics just to see if this wound keep infection away from my wound and decrease healing time. I am so thankful for this new information on wound care. I am sorry though to tell you that not one person at my urgent care clinic knew what a hydrogel bandage could do or had even knew about them.
One word maceration!!! ..I disagree with these studies!!! ..yes moist wounds do heal faster.who cares about speed though. I’m firm on the fact that dry wound healing is actually better.i have found that wound dehiscence is far more common in moist wounds due to macerated tissue..plus scabs keep bacteria out better than a dressing imo. Scabs also protect a wound..and if that’s not enough,bacteria multiplies at a faster rate in a moist environment.unless you are an extremely clean ultra hygienic person and live a sedimentary lifestyle like working at home ..i despite what popular belief says,..strongly recommend DRY wound healing..don’t blindly follow the crowd..they are often wrong…don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.people now days want everything to be faster ! Faster! Faster! ..I’m hear to tell you for wounds faster is NOT better for wound healing.there is far more risks and complications associated with the “faster” wound healing..play it safe keep it old school.let your wound dry out! 😊
I've been told that I can't work for the next two months because of my wound, which covers a great deal of my calf down to the top of my foot. I think it's going to be longer than that. Home health nurses come twice a week, and I go to wound care once a week. Right now I am only permitted to go to doctor's appointments. Someone else has to bring groceries. I live alone so that's not as easy as it sounds. I need to be working, so faster, faster, faster doesn't sound bad to me. Mortgage and other bills have to be paid. That's reality.

So instead of gauze, what do you recommend then?
I use wet baby wipes with vitmin e on wound then place gauze ontop of that then wrap it.
So what constitutes moist dressing products?
Use wet baby wipes with vitmin e
@@Hashi-tw7ky ok
@@synchronicity67 lol you can also find mosit gauze pads. But I'm using moist baby wipes atm and vitmin e is good for skin.

Zero form was the better choice after the wound vac.

Moist wound heal faster and leaves almost no scar. I tried that by myself
