Apligraf [Organogenesis, Canton, MA]). 2 Despite such product advances, a need remains for cost-effective wound treatments that 1) require less frequent changing; 2) provide an adequate moist environment; 3) absorb exudate; 4) prevent leakage onto periwound skin; and 5) do not adhere to or damage healing tissues. A new wound care system called the Sepaderm Wound Management System (Aalnex, Inc., Irvine, CA) was specifically engineered to incorporate these desirable properties. OTApligra Od It is composed of three distinct components: 1) an adhesive circular-frame support cushion made of an ultra-soft, closed-cell, nonabsorptive polyolefin foam that is biologically fluid-resistant; 2) an exudate wicking strip that surrounds the outer wound edge and acts as a protective barrier against exudate overflow onto the periwound area, which also transfers exudate away from the wound and upward to the third part of the system (the reservoir); and 3) a reservoir above the wound surface for isolation of absorbed exudates and to minimize any contact with the healing epithelium and granulation tissue in order to prevent damage. Additionally, the system is completely covered with a low-friction, velvet style, breathable, polyurethane membrane that maintains a physiologic moisture vapor transfer rate and also func- DO NOT Vol. 22, No. 10 October

Sepaderm s ability to promote wound healing may be due to multiple factors. Sepaderm satisfies the Guidelines ines recommendation for dressings in improved wound dressings that promote wound healing. the treatment of venous ulcers, 8 diabetic ulcers, 9 and The Sepaderm wound management system was selected to treat three different wound types based on its ability to remove excess exudate from the wound bed, which limits exudate leakage onto periwound tissue while maintaining a moist environment for the wound bed, and its ease of application.

All three wounds treated with Sepaderm achieved healing rates above these lower limits that predict complete wound healing (average of 1.1 While our clinical experience with the Sepaderm system is limited, including single cases of three different wound types with no controls or comparative treatments, a number of advantages with its use are apparent. The effectiveness of Sepaderm appears to be due to its cm/week for both burn and surgical wounds and average ability to stay intact for several days and its capacity to of 0.13 cm/week for the venous ulcer).
