Wet-to-dry dressings

Published

I've been told that wet-to-dry dressings are now "outdated practice" and they have been removed from our wound care protocol altogether (I've been a nurse for 6 mos and i work in a nursing home). Is this true? i have a feeling it's because the owner of our company also owns a pharmacy and he orders our wound care supplies from convatec. so I don't know if it's all a money racket or they really are outdated. any opinions?

The main reason many no longer use wet to dry is because many times it removes newly formed granulation tissue :loveya:
