The healing of chronic wounds is a very complicated process,affected by many factors,and the wound is closely related to the local environment.Appropriate dressing contributes to improving the healing of the wound.Wet dressings are widely used in the clinical care of chronic wounds for the advantage of making moderately moist,low oxygen,slightly acid,and being close to the body temperature.

Objective To investigate the effects of moist dressing combined with conterpart drainage on chronic wound therapy. Methods A total of 200 chronic wound patients were randomly admitted to either intervention group (n=100) or control group (n=100). The patients of control group adopted iodophor gauze and the patients of intervention group received moist dressing combined with counterpart drainage therapy. The clinical efficacy and wound healing time of the two groups were compared. Results The wound healing time of the intervention group were (21. 3 ± 9. 3)d and (44. 0 ± 9. 5)d in the control group (t=6. 968,P<0. 05). The effective power of the intervention group was 100%, so that was 87% in the control group with significant difference between them (P<0. 05). Conclusions The implementation of moist dressing combined with countrerpart drainage in the chronic wound therapy can improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the wound healing time.
