Abstract

Good wound preparation is required in wound healing. Removal of dead and necrotic tissue by autolysis or thorough debridement, followed by effective exudate control, matrix metalloproteinase inhibition, and control of bacterial bioburden should allow treatment for extended periods. Many clinicians rely on the TIME (Tissue, Infection/Infection, Moisture Balance and Wound Edge) framework to help them prepare the wound bed, and many different dressings are available to aid digestion, control exudate, reduce bacterial bioburden and inhibition of metalloproteinase. This review article describes the performance of a hydroconductive dressing containing levafiber, which aids in wound bed preparation through absorption, separation, and retention.
