Support and protection of the healing wound can decrease healing times, increase patient comfort and improve cosmetic outcomes. During the granulation and epithelialisation phase, protection of the wound, through an effective physical barrier that provides cushioning is critical.

Granulation is a delicate process that can be easily disrupted. Support of granulation can involve: • Cleansing of exudating wounds. • Packing of cavity wounds. • Support of mature granulation tissue.
