The use of polyurethane foam as an antimicrobial dressing material in hand surgery

Nebil Yesiloglu, Hakan Sirinoglu, Gokhan Temiz.

Abstract
Polyurethane foam is generally used in negative pressure-assisted wound closure therapy. It provides an antimicrobial environment around the wound, while reducing the rate of skin maceration. The authors used polyurethane foam in routine hand dressings after hand surgery operations that were performed for both congenital and acquired purposes.

Key words: Polyurethane foam, hand dressing, hand surgery, wound maceration, wound infection
