The SMTL recently presented a series of posters at the 2013 Wounds UK Conference in Harrogate.

The posters contained results of anti-microbial wound dressing testing undertaken for 2009/10 All-Wales NHS Wound Management Contract. A variety of anti-microbial containing (honey, silver, PHMB, chlorhexidine) alginate/hydrofibre, foams and low adherent wound dressings were assessed for their bactericidal efficacy using against recently isolated clinical strains of MRSA and Pseudomonas aueriginosa.

The posters will be be published on this site in the near future, and we are planning to publish the full results in a woundcare journal in 2014.
