Foam dressings are widely used, but superabsorbent materials may provide advantages in exudate handling. This study compared the absorption performance, wound healing, and pain outcomes of foam versus superabsorbent dressings in donor\u2010site wounds. Thirty patients undergoing split\u2010thickness skin grafting were enrolled, with no exclusions or loss to follow\u2010up. Each donor site was divided into two equal zones, with one receiving a foam dressing and the other a superabsorbent dressing according to randomized allocation. Data were collected using coded identifiers. Clinical outcomes, including absorption capacity, wound epithelialization, pain scores, and complications, were evaluated at 3\u2010day intervals through postoperative day 15. Experimental testing showed that a 10\u2009\u00d7\u200910\u2009cm foam dressing weighed 7.5\u2009g and absorbed 75\u2009mL of saline, whereas the superabsorbent dressing weighed 5.5\u2009g and absorbed 93\u2009mL. Clinically, absorption power was significantly higher with the superabsorbent dressing on day 3 (104.09 vs. 71.87\u2009mg\/cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \/day;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.034), day 6 (84.45 vs. 40.91\u2009mg\/cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \/day;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and day 9 (76.59 vs. 19.74\u2009mg\/cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \/day;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.022). Pain scores tended to be lower with the superabsorbent dressing on days 6 and 9, although the differences were not statistically significant. Wound epithelialization was comparable between groups, with no allergic reactions, infections, or other complications observed. Superabsorbent dressing demonstrated superior absorption capacity compared with foam dressing, while achieving comparable epithelialization and healing outcomes. Pain scores tended to be lower with the superabsorbent dressing during the early postoperative period, although the differences were not statistically significant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
