Review of current wound-care protocol and dressing choice in equine veterinary practice

ABSTRACT: A 2010 national equine wound-care study was undertaken to report on – and clarify – current wound management theories, and review product usage in equine veterinary practice; with an initial report and review of current human wound-care practices transposable to equine veterinary practice. Results indicate wide-ranging product usage between practices but a small range within practices. Many well-established wound-care products are favoured over newer, successful human wound-care practices including: topical negative pressure; the wound healing, infection and exudate continuums; and many of the active products. Further research is required, especially in terms of case studies and the potential inclusion of recently developed human products. The requirement for independent product and wound healing guidance in veterinary practice is highlighted.
