Management of a Patient With Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Using Silicone Transfer Foam Dressings and a Secondary Absorbent Dressing.
Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing 2016 November
BACKGROUND: Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is an exfoliative disorder of the skin usually caused by a drug reaction. The primary goal of wound care for patients with TEN is prevention of further mechanical trauma to the skin, along with management of wound infection.
CASE: A 77-year-old woman with TEN was successfully managed with a perforated silver soft contact foam and a superabsorbent outer layer. Topical therapy combined nanoparticle silver for management of wound infection and minimized trauma to the skin as only the outer layer needed to be changed.
CONCLUSION: The silicone foam dressing with silver sulfate epithelialization and reduced pain and trauma associated with dressing changes.
