The Role of Adherent Occlusive Antimicrobial Absorbent Foam Dressing in Prevention of Cesarean Section Wound Complications
Post-cesarean section wound infections are responsible for longer hospital stays,
readmissions, and ultimately, increased costs to the healthcare system. Silver-containing
dressings may prevent wound infections. The purpose of the current study is to determine if
the use of a silver-impregnated dressing decreases the occurence of wound infection following
cesarean delivery.
