When managing burns to the hand several factors are taken into account to improve healing and rehabilitation times. Along with sterility and exudate management the dressing has to also allow as great a range of movement as possible to encourage exercise, something that dressings to other parts of the body do not have to deal with. Additionally the dressing has to be (re)applied by a skilled practitioner.
This novel dressing design provides sterility, exudate management, allows for a great range of movement and de-skills the dressing process, allowing the patient to change their own dressings.
