Surgical Dressings and Wound Management
This recently published book probably represents the most comprehensive
single source of information of wound management materials
currently available. It is produced both as a printed version and an eBook. The printed version comprises 720 pages divided
into 22 chapters with many illustrations in both black and white and colour. The electronic version is
available in ePub format.
The first few chapters deal with the structure of the skin and describe some of
the practical and financial problems of managing wounds of all
types but the major part of the book describes the development, physical
and chemical properties, and mode of action of all of the
principal groups of surgical dressings and wound management materials in
current use including films, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, silver dressings, maggots and VAC amongst others. In each case this information is supplemented by a
detailed review of the literature on the clinical use of the product group
concerned.
A chapter containing observations on factors that influence
the selection of wound dressings completes the clinical section of the book and
a final chapter contains more commercial information, consisting
of contact details for manufacturers and distributors of products
cited within the text.
