Q

What are the characteristics of semipermeable film?

A

permeable to water vapor, O2, and CO2 but impermeable to water and bacteria, allow visualization of wound, highly elastic and comfortable, have little absorptive or insulating capabilities, adhesive may traumatize periwound, can be left on 5-7 days
