Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The chitin medical wound dressing can relieve the wound pain, bleeding, and promote wound healing. It has good biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. With the good permeability and natural degradation in the body, it can be used clinically as a good biological wound dressing.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the chitin medical wound dressing paste and routine dressings used in changing the dressing and medication.
METHODS: We retrospectively studied 60 patients undergoing wound-treatment. They were divided into two groups: chitin medical wound dressing paste group and routine dressing group. Each group had 30 patients. We recorded wound healing rate, detection rate of bacteria, visual analog scale score, healing time and cost of treatment at 3, 7, 14 days after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The wound healing rate, detection rate of bacteria, visual analog scale score, healing time of the chitin medical wound dressing paste group were better than those of the routine dressing change medicine group (P < 0.05). But there was no difference in the cost of treatment between the two groups. Therefore, we can made the conclusion that the chitin medical wound dressing paste used in changing the dressing and medication can promote wound healing, reduce the antibacterial infection rate, and obtain better treatment satisfaction.
