Moist Wound Healing

The principle of moist wound healing.

Moist wound healing is an established care concept in which the wound is kept in a balanced moist environment with the help of suitable wound dressings. In contrast to the dry wound care customary in the past, the wound surface remains protected against drying out.

Benefits of a moist wound environment.

A balanced moist environment supports the natural healing processes, facilitates the removal of cellular debris and can make dressing changes gentler. Excessive moisture should nevertheless be avoided, as it can macerate the peri-wound skin.

Role in modern wound care.

Moist wound healing is part of modern standard care. As a first step, wound irrigation solutions help remove wound debris and microorganisms and create a more favorable wound environment. They can be combined with complementary second-step treatments, such as PLASMO®HEAL PRO, which reduce the microbial burden on the wound surface and help support a wound and skin environment conducive to healing. PLASMO®HEAL PRO also delivers very fine aerosol particles to the wound, which can help maintain an appropriate level of moisture.
