Simple Method to Prevent Sponge Retention in Cavity Wounds

Conclusion

Using a mesh wound contact layer improves the structural integrity of the sponge model and, most importantly, ensures recovery of all of the sponge, regardless of type or the number of pieces. The mesh contact layer also helps minimize discomfort during dressing changes by reducing granulation tissue ingrowth of the sponge cells and excessive collapse at the mouth of the cavity wound.
