Your supervising PT has written that the wound dressing should be occlusive or semi-occlusive to cover a 50% black eschar wound. What is the advantage of using this dressing with this type of wound?
- Traps in bacteria or pathogens so they can be contained to the wound
- Allows drainage of the wound to keep the wound from becoming macerated
- Contains moisture and allows the body’s enzymes to soften the eschar
- It provides mechanical debridement due to its adhesive nature
