Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

AlgiDERM is the best choice for an infected wound with large amounts of drainage as it is an alginate dressing that absorbs a significant amount of exudate and creates a moist wound bed, which promotes healing. Telfa is a non-adherent dressing that can be used for minor wounds with minimal drainage. OpSite is a transparent film dressing that can be used for superficial wounds with minimal drainage. DuoDerm is a hydrocolloid dressing that can be used for non-infected wounds with moderate exudate.
