Example:
Silver Delivery (ACTICOAT)
Stimulation
of Epithelialization meshed grafts placed on excised burn
Initial
placement meshed grafts
Silver
Delivery applied over grafts
Note:
Excellent conformity of dressing while maintaining moisture.
Day 5 post graft
Day
5 Post Graft (ACTICOAT) removed
Note:
rapid re-epithelialization across the mesh autografts
No exudate present
Day
5 POST-MESH GRAFT
(ACTICOAT USED)
Note:
rapid re-epithelialization across mesh
Conclusion:
Appreciation of a silver releasing closed dressing appears to
increase the rate of mesh graft re-epithelialization.
