Management of partial skin thickness burn wounds with Inadine dressings. 1989

Accident and Emergency Department, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.

In a prospective randomized trial, 213 consecutive patients with less than 10 per cent BSA partial thickness burns were treated as outpatients with either Bactigras (n = 102) (tulle gras dressing with 0.5 per cent Chlorhexidine Acetate B.P.) or Inadine (n = 111) (rayon dressing with 10 per cent povidone iodine ointment). Inadine caused less bleeding on dressing removal but not significantly less. Inadine treated patients required less analgesia, a reduced treatment time, a smaller number of hospital visits and less time off work/normal activities (P = 0.01). Inadine should be more widely used in the management of partial thickness burn wounds.
