The use of Epi-Lock dressings was compared to moist saline dressings as a treatment for Stage II and III pressure ulcers in 38 patients. Demographic and clinical data were collected at the onset of the investigation. At the time of enrollment and during weeks six, 12 and 24, pressure ulcers were inspected and measured, and laboratory data were collected. More healing occurred with Epi-Lock dressing than with moist saline dressing for Stage II and III pressure ulcers. Although individual Epi-Lock dressings were more expensive than saline dressings, they required less dressing changes. Therefore considering cost of nursing time, Epi-Lock dressings are more cost effective.
在38例患者中，对使用Epi-Lock敷料和湿生理盐水敷料治疗II期和III期压疮进行了比较。在调查开始时收集了人口统计学和临床数据。在入组时以及第6周、12周和24周期间，对压疮进行检查和测量，并收集实验室数据。对于II期和III期压疮，使用Epi-Lock敷料比使用湿生理盐水敷料愈合得更多。虽然单个Epi-Lock敷料比生理盐水敷料更昂贵，但更换敷料的次数更少。因此，考虑到护理时间成本，Epi-Lock敷料更具成本效益。
