This article outlines the financial cost of wound care and the importance of appropriate dressings to achieve both clinical and economic outcomes. A clinical evaluation of Allevyn Gentle Border Lite™ including 50 patients within one health trust was undertaken to assess ease of application, wear time, ease of removal, durability and patient comfort. An observation is made that wound care is complex and health professionals require a knowledge and understanding of the wound healing process, pain, dressing products, asepsis, microbiology, pharmacology, psychosocial factors, and ethics, and should possess good communication skills. A conclusion is made that the 50 patient evaluation demonstrates the flexibility of the Allevyn Gentle Border Lite, which allows for a secure fit, provides active fluid management in its control of exudates, may be applied to patients with fragile skin, thereby avoiding the need for secondary retention, and may be used on difficult-to-dress areas.
本文概述了伤口护理的财务成本以及合适的敷料对于实现临床和经济效果的重要性。在一个医疗信托机构内对50名患者进行了一项关于Allevyn Gentle Border Lite™的临床评估，以评估其应用的便捷性、佩戴时间、去除的难易程度、耐用性和患者舒适度。有人指出，伤口护理很复杂，医疗专业人员需要了解和理解伤口愈合过程、疼痛、敷料产品、无菌操作、微生物学、药理学、心理社会因素和伦理学，并且应具备良好的沟通技巧。得出的结论是，对50名患者的评估证明了Allevyn Gentle Border Lite的灵活性，它能实现牢固贴合，在控制渗出液方面提供主动的液体管理，可应用于皮肤脆弱的患者，从而避免二次固定的需要，并且可用于难以包扎的部位。
