Iodine dressings

Cadexomer–iodine, like povidone–iodine, releases free

iodine when exposed to wound exudate. The free iodine acts

as an antiseptic on the wound surface, the cadexomer

absorbs wound exudate and encourages de-sloughing. Twocomponent hydrogel dressings containing glucose oxidase

and iodide ions generate a low level of free iodine in the

presence of moisture and oxygen. Povidone–iodine fabric

dressing is a knitted viscose dressing with povidone–iodine

incorporated in a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol basis; this

facilitates diffusion of the iodine into the wound and permits

removal of the dressing by irrigation. The iodine has a wide

spectrum of antimicrobial activity but it is rapidly

deactivated by wound exudate. Systemic absorption of

iodine may occur, particularly from large wounds or with

prolonged use.

Iodoflex ® and Iodosorb ® are used for the treatment of

chronic exuding wounds; max. single application 50 g, max.

weekly application 150 g; max. duration up to 3 months in

any single course of treatment. They are contra-indicated in

patients receiving lithium, in thyroid disorders, in pregnancy

and breast feeding, and in children; they should be used with

caution in patients with severe renal impairment or history

of thyroid disorder.

Iodozyme ® is an antimicrobial dressing used for lightly to

moderately exuding wounds. It is contra-indicated in thyroid

disorders and in patients receiving lithium; it should be used

with caution in children and in women who are pregnant or

breast-feeding.

Oxyzyme ® is used for non-infected, dry to moderately

exuding wounds. It is contra-indicated in thyroid disorders

and in patients receiving lithium; it should be used with

caution in children and in women who are pregnant or

breast-feeding.

Povidone-iodine Fabric Dressing is used as a wound contact

layer for abrasions and superficial burns. It is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment and in

women who are pregnant or breast-feeding; it should be

used with caution in patients with thyroid disease and in

children under 6 months.

Silver dressings

Antimicrobial dressings containing silver should be used

only when infection is suspected as a result of clinical signs

or symptoms (see also notes above). Silver ions exert an

antimicrobial effect in the presence of wound exudate; the

volume of wound exudate as well as the presence of infection

should be considered when selecting a silver-containing

dressing. Silver-impregnated dressings should not be used

routinely for the management of uncomplicated ulcers. It is

recommended that these dressings should not be used on

acute wounds as there is some evidence to suggest they

delay wound healing. Dressings impregnated with silver

sulfadiazine have broad antimicrobial activity; if silver

sulfadiazine is applied to large areas, or used for prolonged

periods, there is a risk of blood disorders and skin

discoloration. The use of silver sulfadiazine-impregnated

dressings is contra-indicated in neonates, in pregnancy, and

in patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment,

sensitivity to sulfonamides, or G6PD deficiency. Large

amounts of silver sulfadiazine applied topically may interact

with other drugs—see Appendix 1 (sulfonamides).

Adjunct dressings and appliances

Surgical absorbents

Surgical absorbents applied directly to the wound have many

disadvantages—dehydration of and adherence to the wound,

shedding of fibres, and the leakage of exudate (‘strike

through’) with an associated risk of infection. Gauze and

cotton absorbent dressings can be used as secondary layers

in the management of heavily exuding wounds (but see also

Capillary-action dressings). Absorbent cotton gauze fabric

can be used for swabbing and cleaning skin. Ribbon gauze

can be used post-operatively to pack wound cavities, but

adherence to the wound bed will cause bleeding and tissue

damage on removal of the dressing—an advanced wound

dressing (e.g. hydrocolloid-fibrous, foam, or alginate)

layered into the cavity is often more suitable.
