What are the Limitations of Transparent Film Dressings?
Despite their advantages, transparent film dressings have limitations: - Exudate Management: They are not suitable for wounds with heavy exudate as they lack absorptive capacity. - Adhesion Issues: The adhesive may cause skin irritation or damage upon removal, especially in patients with sensitive skin. - Not Ideal for Infected Wounds: These dressings are not recommended for heavily infected wounds as they can trap bacteria.
