Keratin wound dressing: patient and nurse acceptability study

Funding body: Keratec Limited and Nurse Maude Specialist Wound Management Service

Project description: The aim of this study was to examine the user acceptability for patients and nurses of three new types of Keratin wound dressings used to treat leg ulcers.  Both nursing and patient participants were asked to comment, using a written questionnaire, on the use of the dressing, its’ ease of use, comfort, simplicity and any other points they wish to identify.

Project outcomes: Hammond, CE, Than, M & Walker, JW (2010). From the laboratory to the leg: patients' and nurses' perceptions of product application using three different dressing formats.  Wound Practice and Research, 18(4), 189 - 195.
