The authors report their experience, still short, of a new type of dressing based upon Silastic foam used in general surgery. They emphasise the considerable progress achieved in the everyday care of their patients with easy to manage dressings and the virtual disappearance of pain. This has transformed the patients' existence and has made early physiotherapy possible in certain of them. The simplicity of use of this dressing leads to savings in time and cost and if the patient is cooperative the possibility of widespread use at home by the patient himself. The properties of this foam form the basis for a wide range of indications going beyond general surgery, with applications in ENT, dermatology, rehabilitation centres, etc. Results are satisfactory in 90% of cases, the only failures being due to a failure to obey the basic principles of care: doubtful indication (inadequate disinfection of wounds), neglect of concomitant pathology (diabetes, nutritional state) or lack of patient cooperation.
作者报告了他们在普通外科使用基于硅橡胶泡沫的新型敷料的经验，尽管时间尚短。他们强调，使用易于管理的敷料在患者的日常护理中取得了显著进展，疼痛几乎消失。这改变了患者的生活，使其中一些患者能够早期进行物理治疗。这种敷料使用简单，节省了时间和成本，如果患者配合，患者自己在家中也有可能广泛使用。这种泡沫的特性为广泛的适应症奠定了基础，其应用范围超出了普通外科，还可用于耳鼻喉科、皮肤科、康复中心等。90%的病例结果令人满意，唯一的失败是由于未遵守基本的护理原则：适应症存疑（伤口消毒不充分）、忽视伴随的病理情况（糖尿病、营养状况）或患者缺乏配合。
