Abstract
For topical management to skin ulcers, dressings are useful materials. There are some types of dressings, hydro-fiber, polyurethane form and hydrocolloid dressings. We should choice the proper dressings aiming at exudate fluid quantity. Some dressings include silver for reducing local infection. On the other hand, foot ulcers are caused by various backgrounds. Ischemic ulcers are contraindication for dressings because these wounds never work healing process. Keeping the moist conditions, dressings facilitate the wound bed preparation to the “curable” ulcers. Conversely, the indication of dressings is limited for “incurable” wounds. We should consider the suitable indication of dressings to refractory foot ulcers.
