Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Vacuum-sealing drainage in wound skin grafting can close wound, reduce the leakage, promote granulation hyperplasia and improve skin new speed.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects of two kinds of wound surface dressings used in wound skin grafting.
METHODS: Eighty patients who needed skin grafting for trauma were retrospectively studied and chosen from September 2010 to March 2012. They were divided into two groups: biomaterial group (dressings mainly made of luffa fibers) and synthetics group (seaweed polyvinyl alcohol foam). The vacuum-sealing drainage device and wound dressing were removed after 1 week treatment. The skin grafting coverage and wound healing time were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All patients of two groups got effective skin grafting coverage rate, and no patient appeared with infection and nonunion. The skin grafting coverage and wound healing time of the biomaterial group significantly differed from the synthetics group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that compared to the synthetic material group, the biomaterial group can be better for effective drainage, good circulation, bacteria inhibition and fast repair.
