BACKGROUND:

Pressure injury (PI) is a local injury of the skin and/or soft tissue located at the bone caused by medical or other equipment and is common in long-term bedridden patients.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the clinical effect of Urgotul foam dressing in the treatment of stage 3 ∼ 4 PI and deep tissue PI.

METHODS:

A total of 38 patients with stage 3 ∼ 4 PI and deep tissue PI admitted to Jinan Central Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (dressing change plus silver ion cream dressing) and an observation group (dressing change plus Urgotul Absorb non-border foam dressing), with 19 cases in each group. After 4 weeks of treatment, the pain intensity during dressing change and the treatment efficacy for PI wounds were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS:

There were no differences in gender ( P = 0.740), age ( P = 0.130), single wound area ( P = 0.673), consultation department ( P = 0.972), stage ( P = 0.740), presence of undermining ( P = 0.721), deep tissue PI ( P = 0.721), and systemic antibiotic therapy ( P = 1.000) between the two groups, which were comparable. The treatment effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( P = 0.003), and the pain score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group ( P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION:

Urgotul Absorb non-border foam dressing has a good effect in the treatment of stage 3 ∼ 4 PI and deep tissue PI and can relieve patients’ pain, and is thus worth promoting.
