A silicone foam sponge has been used to replace the daily packing of deep granulating wounds with moist sterile gauze. In the treatment of pilonidal sinus use of the sponge demands less nursing time and is more comfortable for the patient than the excision and open granulation technique. Patients can usually return to work soon after operation. The method has many applications in surgery, and widespread application of the technique to the management of granulating wounds could result in considerable savings to the NHS in money and skilled nursing time.
一种硅胶泡沫海绵已被用于替代每日用湿无菌纱布对深部肉芽创面进行的填塞。在藏毛窦的治疗中，使用该海绵所需的护理时间较少，且相较于切除并开放肉芽技术，患者感觉更舒适。患者术后通常能很快恢复工作。该方法在外科手术中有诸多应用，将此技术广泛应用于肉芽创面的处理，可为英国国家医疗服务体系节省大量资金和专业护理时间。
