Influence of Accumulation of Humidity under Wound Dressings and Effects on Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and Skin Hydration
Applied Sciences(2024)
摘要
The moisture content of the human skin, but also the loss of water through the skin, the transepidermal water loss (TEWL), plays a significant role in the skin’s health. Various medical indications require the use of a wound dressing. However, how the skin environment changes under a wound dressing has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Skin moisture and TEWL values were measured in 20 healthy volunteers before and after the application of a total of 23 different wound dressings distributed over the back. Significant changes in the parameters from day 1 to day 2 were tested. Wound dressings change the underlying skin environment. Occlusive dressings significantly increase skin hydration and TEWL. The findings could contribute to quantitative analysis and monitoring of topical-wound therapy in the future.
