Selecione das listas do Menu para completar o texto.

Match the drop down option with the type of dressing.

-( Wet-to-dry gauze dressing, Hydrocolloid dressing ): Allows necrotic material to soften and adhere to the gauze, causing debridement of the wound. By doing that, it enhances healing.

-( Skin prep Granulex, Wet-to-dry gauze dressing ): Toughens intact skin, preserves skin integrity, prevents skin breakdown, increased blood supply, adds moisture, aids in removal of necrotic tissue.

-( Vacuum-assisted closure, Transparent dressings ): Creates a negative pressure to help reduce edema, increase blood supply and oxygenation, and decrease bacterial colonization. It also helps promote moist wound healing and granulation tissue formation.

-( Hydrocolloid dressing, Transparent dressings ): Prevents skin breakdown and promotes healing without crust formation over the ulcer. It is permeable to air and water vapor, and it prevents the growth of anaerobic organisms. By doing this, it enhances healing.

-( Proteolytic enzymes, Wet-to-dry gauze dressing ): Serves as debriding agents in inflamed and infected lesions.

-( Transparent dressings, Skin prep Granulex ): Prevents skin breakdown, the entrance of moisture, and the entrance of bacteria. It does, however, allow oxygen and moisture vapor in. By doing this, it enhances healing.
