Abstract: Nowadays, the wound management techniques use modern materials, products which are different in composition and structure, but their essential characteristics are to facilitate wound healing. The objective of this study is to evaluate the “in-vitro” properties of some wound dressings present on European pharmaceutical market. The wound-dressing materials ability is given by the combination of the absorbency capability and moisture vapour transmitted in order to ensure an optimal wound moist environment. The results could predict the exudate absorption and the capacity control of the water loss from a wound in order to determine the ideal type of dressing required for different type of wound.
Keywords: wound dressings, test method, absorbency, fluid handling capacity, water vapour
