Abstract
Nowadays there are a lot of contemporary wound dressings in theforms like foams and films made on the basis of different polymers. It’s necessary to know optimal particular numeric values of wound dressings’ key operational properties, which determine comfort and easy to use. As the basic operational characteristics we have chosen for investigation such parameters as: swelling behavior, which indicates amount of liquid, swollen by the unit weight of the material; elastic modulus as a measure of material’s elasticity; surface and apparent density of the material; relations among these characteristics. We’ve offered to differentiate materials in accordance with particular values of swelling behavior, because manufactures range wound dressings for wounds with different amount of secreted exudate without specifying exact values. Also physical and mechanical properties of multilayer wound dressings were investigated, paying attention to the elasticity of the material. So, the target of the investigation as a whole was thecomparison of wound dressings’ operational properties from different manufactures to investigate swelling behavior, physical and mechanical properties.
