Evaluation of Shear Force Redistribution and Microclimate in Foam Dressings Indicated for Pressure Injury Prevention
The study found that a next-generation foam dressing (dressing A) had better breathability and lower shear force transmission than other available dressings. This study emphasized the importance of understanding the physical properties of dressings to choose the most appropriate product based on individual patient needs, wound characteristics, and environmental conditions.
