The questions will be posed to the group by Jacqui Fletcher OBE, Independent Nurse Consultant, UK in this lively discussion.

Some of the questions that will be answered: 

  • What is a “medicated” dressing and what is a “non-medicated” dressing?
  • When should I use non-medicated wound dressings?
  • What role can non-medicated wound dressings play in antimicrobial stewardship?

Addressing your

Questions

Prof Karen Ousey

for questions related to the properties of NMWDs and their modes of action

Prof Hans Smola

for questions related to recognising the signs of inflammation and infection and where NMWDs use is most appropriate

Prof Tomasz Banasiewicz

for questions on the practicalities of using NMWDs for wounds with biofilm and infected wounds

Prof Thomas Bjarnsholt

for questions on the current research and theories of biofilm formation and structure

How can we better understand and differentiate what is a “medicated” dressing and what is a “non-medicated” dressing? Both terms need very good clarification.​
How can various microorganisms form “aggregates” in the structure of wound biofilm? Are these aggregates involved in the (development of) biofilm tolerance to antimicrobials? ​
Where can we access information on antimicrobial stewardship, and how can I use this in my clinical area?​
Can you use NMWDs under NPWT?​
