Abstract |
Paraffin tulle dressings remain in common use in almost every accident and emergency (A&E) department. Dressing a wound with paraffin tulle necessitates the use of a secondary dressing which, in common practice, is almost always an absorbent pad or gauze. Such combined dressings may represent poor practice, because alternatives are now available which better satisfy the required characteristics of the optimum dressing (1). The author looks at some of the available alternatives.
