The properties of hydrogel dressings and their impact on wound healing.

Abstract
In recent decades, the management of difficult wounds has been enhanced by the introduction of amorphous hydrogels. This paper examines reports in the literature on the outcomes of studies into the efficacy of this group of dressings, discusses the types of wounds that are most suitable for hydrogel application and poses questions that merit further investigation.
