Purpose: The purpose of management of split thickness skin graft (STSG) donor site is to promote healing process and mini-mize pain and infection. There are many dressing materials for managing donor site. The study aimed to compare the effect on management of donor site between Biatain Ibu® (polyurethane foam with incorporated ibuprofen) and Mepilex® (polyure-thane foam coated with silicone). Especially, we focused on manage of donor site pain and treatment satisfaction.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 30 pa-tients underwent STSG from January 2015 to June 2015. The grafts harvested with a same manner and the donor sites were managed with Biatain Ibu® or Mepilex®. Donor site pain, treatment satisfaction, days for re-epithelization and compli-cation were compared between the two groups.
Results: All of 30 patients were well healed and there was no complications. Pain level of Biatain Ibu® (2.32±0.929) was lower than Mepilex® (4.77±1.224). Treatment satisfaction of Biatain Ibu® (8.40±0.632) was higher than Mepilex® (7.33± 0.487). There is no statistically differences (P=0.455) in the days for re-eopithelization between Biatain Ibu® (14.73± 0.789) and Mepilex® (14.53±0.639).
Conclusion: The Biatain Ibu® dressing represents a valuable alternative in the management of STSG donor site by provid-ing an appropriate wound healing, reduction of pain and im-proving treatment satisfaction.
