Use of a next-generation multilayered foam dressing in hard-to-heal wounds: a prospective, multicentre study

Hard-to-heal wounds present a significant healthcare challenge due to their complex aetiology, impact on quality of life (QoL) and consequent economic burden.

Guidelines recommend dressings that provide a moisture-balanced wound healing environment, absorb excess exudate, and protect the periwound skin, in addition to being cost-effective.

The aim of this study was to assess the usability, safety, and performance of a next-generation, multilayered foam dressing in the management of indicated hard-to-heal wounds.

The management of indicated hard-to-heal wounds with a next-generation multilayered foam dressing was associated with:

🔹 Clinical progression of wound healing at four weeks
🔹 Complete wound closure in almost 40% of wounds at 12 weeks
🔹 High percentage of healthcare provider and patient satisfaction
🔹 Very low number of dressing-related adverse events

Na konferenci EWMA-GNEAUPP 2025 so udeležence presenetili s flash mobom, da bi povečali ozaveščenost o pomenu kompresijske terapije pri zdravljenju ran. Kompresijska terapija ostaja ključno osredotočeno področje pri celjenju ran. Do virov o kompresijski terapiji lahko dostopate prek spletne strani EWMA, ki je na voljo v več jezikih.

EWMA je, konec marca 2025, v sodelovanju z GNEAUPP (Nacionalna skupina za preučevanje in svetovanje o razjedah zaradi pritiska in kroničnih ranah) pripravila kongres s področja ran v Barceloni. Na otvoritveni slovesnosti je bila podpisana Barcelona’s Declaration on the Care of People with Wounds. Deklaracija je zaveza EWMA, GNEAUPP in SEHER (Špansko društvo za rane) za uresničevanje pravic in boljši dostop do oskrbe za ljudi z ranami.

Vabljeni k branju.

A compelling new study published in the Journal of Wound Management has demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of zinc oxide compression bandaging - commonly known as the Unna Boot - in managing chronic venous disease. This treatment, often used for venous leg ulcers and oedema, was assessed using high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements.

Over 4 week, patients showed:
🔹 Significant reduction in calf circumference
🔹 Marked decrease in subepidermal low echogenicity band thickness
🔹 Improved skin barrier function measured via TEWL
🔹 No adverse effects noted, confirming safety and tolerability

What’s especially exciting is using HFUS as a non-invasive, objective tool to assess tissue changes and monitor treatment efficacy. This aligns with the growing emphasis on personalised and precision wound care.

In a world where research drives innovation, predatory journals undermine trust and quality in science.

Predatory journals are an alarming issue that threatens the credibility of scientific research and the advancement of evidence-based care. These unethical publications often lack thorough peer review processes and prioritise profit over quality, putting the integrity of academic work at risk.

In the latest issue of the Journal of Wound Management, this commentary discusses the challenges posed by predatory journals and how they mislead practitioners seeking reliable information.

Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or student, this is great reading if you want to protect the integrity of your work.🛡️
