<p>The perforations in a film-faced wound dressing have been discovered to have edges which, though clearly defined, lack the ability to cut the neoepithelium of a healing wound, with the result that the film affords an unexpectedly high degree of comfort during movement of the patient-and most particularly, when the dressing is changed. This occurs in a thin, soft, self-supporting elastomeric film, such as a polyether polyurethane (PPU) film, having less than l0% crystallinity. The film provides a degree of conformability not attained heretofore; has a softness and elastomeric quality which results in reduced shear associated with the edges of its perforations as compared with the sharp cutting edges of perforations in plastic film; has excellent release characteristics enhanced by less than 25% open area (due to perforations) which minimizes the open area into which the neoepithelium may grow.</p> |
