Abstract
The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the absorption and adsorption capacity of a silverand copper-containing sorption wound dressing manufactured in the Republic of Belarus. It was found that the absorption capacity of the studied dressing remained stable after 1 and 24 hours of exposure to plasma, and was 2.1 times ( p = 0.000183) and 1.99 times ( p = 0.000174) higher than the corresponding indicators of a cellulose-based dressing at the specified time points. The adsorption capacity of the dressing after 24 hours increased by 18.87 % (p = 0.005) compared to the initial level. This increase corresponds to a 4.5-fold rise (p = 0.000142) compared to the values of the control dressing material. It has been established that the claimed wound dressing effectively absorbs and retains wound exudate due to the interweaving system of numerous sorbent fibers, a voluminous capillary-porous structure, and a high specific surface area, which reduces the risk of maceration (damage) of surrounding tissues and maintains an optimal environment for favorable wound healing.
