Purpose: Inofoam¨Þ is a hydrocellular material developed recently for wound dressing. In the present study, the efficacy of Inofoam¨Þ for donor site dressing after split thickness skin graft (STSG) was evaluated and compared with that of Medifoam¨Þ.
Methods: The study was conducted on 15 patients with third degree of burn underwent STSG from Nov. 2011 to Feb. 2012. Donor sites were divided into groups of Inofoam¨Þ and Medifoam¨Þ. The duration of wound healing, pain score and exudate absorption ratio were compared between the two groups.
Results: The duration of wound healing time was 10.7¡¾2.2 days in Inofoam¨Þ group, 10.5¡¾2.0 days in Medifoam¨Þ group (P£¾0.05). On postoperative 1 day, the exudate absorption ratio in was 341.6¡¾59.3% in Inofoam¨Þ group and 349.0¡¾41.8% in Medifoam¨Þ group. There were no significant differences in wound healing duration, swelling ratio, and pain score between the two groups (P£¾0.05).
Conclusion: The present study shows that the efficacy of a recently used polyurethane foam Inofoam¨Þ for donor site dressing is as effective as that of Medifoam¨Þ. (J Korean Burn Soc 2012;15:20-23)
