Dressing performance was evaluated at each change, and weekly for up to four weeks or until the wound healed, if this was in less than four weeks. The main outcome measure was dressing performance, wound bed and periwound skin condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 15 patients, aged 26\u201387 years, were enrolled; 10 patients (66.7%) presented with chronic wounds including venous leg ulcers (VLUs), arterial leg ulcer, one mixed leg ulcer, pressure ulcer (PU), and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The remaining wounds (33.3%) were postsurgical complex wounds healing by secondary intention, located in the upper leg, foot, abdomen, and sacrum. Mean wound area was 22.6\u00b136.6cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>(range: 1.3\u2013144.0cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Treated wounds showed complete granulation in eight (53.0%) wounds, 75% granulation coverage in two (13.3%) wounds, 50% coverage in three (20.3%), and 25% coverage in two (13.3%) wounds. Patients evaluated the dressing effectiveness as \u2018excellent\u2019 or \u2018very good\u2019 in 45% of cases, \u2018moderate\u2019 in 45%, and \u2018poor\u2019 in 10% of cases. Results of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) showed 70% of patients rated their pain as \u2018low\u2019 and 30% as \u2018moderate\u2019 at dressing removal. Clinicians' evaluation of dressing ability to absorb and retain wound exudate was rated \u2018excellent\u2019 or \u2018very good\u2019 in 80% of cases, and moderate in 20% and poor in 10% of cases. Overall, clinicians' impression of the dressing performance was reported as \u2018excellent\u2019 or \u2018very good\u2019 in 80% of cases and \u2018moderate\u2019 in 20% of cases. No patient had to be removed from the study due to adverse events directly related to the dressing or its performance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>These clinical findings suggest the new gelling fibre dressing to be safe and effective in wound treatment of complex (non-healing) surgical or chronic wounds, to manage exudate effectively, and to optimise the conditions of wounds healing by secondary intention<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.2018.27.7.444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,17]],"date-time":"2018-07-17T16:45:33Z","timestamp":1531845933000},"page":"444-454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Use of a gelling fibre dressing in complex surgical or chronic wounds: a case series"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Nicola","family":"Ivins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Director; Welsh Wound Innovation Centre, Rhodfa Marics, Pontyclun, Wales"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chris","family":"Braumann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for General and Visceral Surgery, St. Josef-Hospital, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan-Birger","family":"Kirchhoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for General and Visceral Surgery, St. Josef-Hospital, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uhl","family":"Waldemar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for General and Visceral Surgery, St. Josef-Hospital, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nia J.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Welsh Wound Innovation Centre, Rhodfa Marics, Pontyclun, Wales"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1524-475X.1996.40404.x"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jid.5700701"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000225431.63010.1b"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2010.08.001"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00129334-200701000-00013"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/193293a0"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/wound.2012.0401"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/wound.2014.0586"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cps.2007.07.004"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1523-1747.2001.01297.x"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nur.4770130405"},{"issue":"7","key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.1997.6.7.327","volume":"6","author":"Thomas S.","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Wound Care"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1523-1747.ep12365637"},{"key":"B18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/jowc.1999.8.9.26197"},{"key":"B19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2004.13.Sup3.15546"},{"issue":"9","key":"B20","first-page":"XI","volume":"97","author":"White R.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Nursing Times"},{"issue":"5","key":"B21","first-page":"132","volume":"24","author":"Wolcott R.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Wounds"},{"key":"B22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biomaterials.2005.07.046"}],"container-title":["Journal of Wound Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/jowc.2018.27.7.444","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,27]],"date-time":"2022-08-27T19:44:14Z","timestamp":1661629454000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/10.12968\/jowc.2018.27.7.444"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,2]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/jowc.2018.27.7.444"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/jowc.2018.27.7.444","relation":{},"ISSN":["0969-0700","2052-2916"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0969-0700","type":"print"},{"value":"2052-2916","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,2]]}}}
