Q

What are the different features that you want out of the primary layer?

A 
1. sterile
2, maintain wound contact
3. conduct exudate (capillary)
4. adherent or non-adherent
5. occlusive or nonocclusive--nonocclusive better!

Q

What is the role of dry to dry dresssings?

A

it is debriding dressing

  1. open weave
  2. remove exudate
  3. remove dead tissue
  4. remove superficial granulation tissue–good b/4 graft

16
Q

What is the role of wet to dry dressings?

A
  1. debridement
  2. reduces exudate viscosity–can liquefy insipated and dried exudate
  3. enhanced capillary action
  4. topical antibiotics–neomycin

for when the wound is starting to get cleaned up but there is still a lot of exudate

17
Q

What is the role of wet to wet dressings?

A
  1. minimal debridement
  2. enhanced capillary action
  3. minimal adherence
  4. high lfuid producing wounds

when get to the poiint where the wound is health, can do this–good for actively serous producing wounds, doesn’t pull granulation tissue off

18
Q

What is the role of nonadherent dressings?

A
  1. gentle on tissue
19
Q

What are the types of non-adherent dressings? (occlusve etc)

A
  1. occlusive
  2. semi-occlusive
  3. non-occlusive
20
Q

What are three types of non-adherent dressing (primary layer?)

A
  1. petrolatum impregnated
  2. tefla
  3. polyethylene glycol
21
Q

What is the role of the secondary layer of a bandage?

A
  1. absorption
  2. pressure distribution
  3. support
22
Q

What is the classic material for the secondary layer in large animal?

A

cotton

23
Q

What is the role of the tertiary layer?

A
  1. pressure application

2. protection from the elements

24
Q

What are some materials used in the tertiary layer?

A

vetwrap

elastiplast

25
Q

How long is pressure present without elastics? with eleastics?

A
26
Q

what is tie over bandage/stent bandage?

A

do on places of body wehre hard to bandage. suture bandage on/suture loops and then lace loops together over the bandage and fix with umbilical tape

27
Q

What is a vacume bandage?

A

a suction apparatus with cotton dressing, catheteri, steridrape. suck drape down. good for trying to get graft to take

28
Q

why don’t you put tape on tape?

could create a constricting band
