[Combined polyurethane foam and hydrogel dressing. Outcome in lesions of diverse etiology]. / Apósito combinado de espuma de poliuretano e hidrogel (Indafoam). Comportamiento ante lesiones de diferente etiología.

The authors present an observational evaluation on the effectiveness of a dressing included in the Indafoam brand for treatment of skin lesions due to different etiology which have an acute or chronic diagnosis; the authors include some very valuable information for professionals who use combined polyurethane foam and hydrogel dressings in their daily practice. Due to their composition, these dressings may be considered combined dressings having only one structure which maintains a stable temperature at the lesion site; these dressings have a high absorption capacity which prevents maceration of the skin surrounding lesions and protects lesions from contamination by exogenous germs.
