Effective management of wound exduate is a considerable challenge for clinicians. Treatment of the patients underlying condition, accurate assessment of the wound and exudate, as well as selection of an appropriate dressing are all important factors for success. A variety of dressings are available to the clinician for the management of exudate, but not all handle fluid in the same way. A gelling foam dressing combining foam with Hydrofiber technology is described and the supporting evidence for its use reviewed. Versiva XC dressing has some good evidence to support its use in the management of wound exudate and performs well in clinical practice.
对临床医生而言，有效管理伤口渗出液是一项颇具挑战的工作。治疗患者的基础疾病、准确评估伤口及渗出液，以及选择合适的敷料都是取得成功的重要因素。临床医生可使用多种敷料来管理渗出液，但并非所有敷料处理液体的方式都相同。本文介绍了一种将泡沫与水凝胶纤维技术相结合的凝胶泡沫敷料，并综述了其使用的支持证据。Versiva XC敷料有充分证据支持其用于伤口渗出液的管理，且在临床实践中表现良好。
