Polymeric membrane dressings (PMDs) diverge dramatically from conventional foam dressings in functional attributes, indications, and patient results, providing an opportunity to demonstrate the evidence for categorizing dressings based upon functional differences.
dressings (PMDs) were observed to meet patient care needs while also reducing clinic staff time and resources, and a PMD protocol of care was developed. Three (3) representative patients who presented with acute wounds and infection are described: a 20-year-old man with a hand abscess, a 16-year-o.
PMDs were compared to past management in terms of: 1) rate of healing and autolytic debridement; 2) pain; 3) number of dressing changes; 4) cost savings in both wound care supplies and...
As shown in case series and reviews, 15,19,32,35,36,38 the hydrophilic (water-loving) components of PMDs (the substrate and glycerol, a bacteriostatic simple sugar) pull nutrient-filled, enzyme-rich fluid from the body into the wound bed, enhancing both healing and autolytic debridement.

The unique components in multifunctional polymeric membrane dressings (PMDs) work together to encourage wound healing. The traditional multistep process that includes manual cleansing or debriding during each dressing change is usually eliminated because PMDs are continuously cleansing and debriding the wound.
Wounds should be assessed for necrosis and infection, which need to be addressed prior to selecting an ideal dressing. Moisture-retentive dressings include films, hydrogels, hydrocolloids, foams, alginates, and hydrofibers and are useful in a variety of clinical settings.
