Backgrounds: Since George Winter reported the usefulness of moist environment wound healing in 1962, the conceptual basis of wound healing has changed from dry dressing to moist wound dressing and effectiveness has been proven by numerous clinical applications. According to these conceptual basis, polyurethane foam, hydrocolloid, hydrogel sheet and hydrofiber has been used for dressing. Among them we evaluated the effect of hydrogel sheet in burn wound.
Methods: We clinically applied Cligel
Ⓡ(Hugel, Sungnam, Korea), which is one type of Hydrogel sheet, to 76 burn patients who visited Armed Forces Yang-Ju hospital. Among the them, 7 patients had first degree burn, 47 patients had second degree burn, 12 patients had deep second degree burn and 10 patients had third degree burn. The burn surface area was less than 18% of body surface.
Results: The burn patients, who had first degree burn, it took 2.5±0.9 days, superficial second degree burn, it took 7.1±1.4 days and the patients with deep second degree burn needed 11.4±1.9 days of healing period. Hydrogel sheet prevented eschar formation, therefore eschorotomy was of no need.
Conclusions: The absorption rate of hydrogel is comparatively low to 20∼30%, so it requires secondary dressing in early period of burn wound. But it has less pain and stimulation of the epithelization in burn patient. Also it assists the functional dressing material like Aquacel Ag
Ⓡ(Convatec), Acticoat
Ⓡ(Smith and Nephew) to moisture supply. Conclusively, the Cligel
Ⓡis very useful for the burn patients to reduce pain and promote epithelization.
