Epi-Lock, a new semiocclusive, semipermeable dressing, was evaluated against standard therapy for three common emergency department wounds: partial thickness burns, deep abrasions, and selected lacerations. Comparison was made of quality of wound healing; rate of wound healing; level of pain experienced, postdressing, by the patient; and ease of use by the staff. One hundred patients in each group (standard treatment versus Epi-Lock) included approximately 40 burns, 35 abrasions, and 25 lacerations in each subgroup. The results of this study showed a statistically significant difference (P less than .01) in all categories for Epi-Lock versus standard therapy. Epi-Lock may be a useful new dressing for all types of wounds presenting to the emergency department.
Epi-Lock是一种新型的半封闭、半透性敷料，针对急诊科三种常见伤口（浅度烧伤、深度擦伤和特定撕裂伤）与标准治疗方法进行了评估。比较了伤口愈合质量、伤口愈合速度、患者换药后经历的疼痛程度以及工作人员的使用便利性。每组100名患者（标准治疗组与Epi-Lock组），每个亚组中约有40例烧伤、35例擦伤和25例撕裂伤。这项研究的结果表明，Epi-Lock与标准治疗方法相比，在所有类别中均存在统计学上的显著差异（P小于0.01）。Epi-Lock可能是急诊科所有类型伤口的一种有用的新型敷料。
