Wet-to-dry phase 2.0

The wet-to-dry phase as a basic accompanying measure in dressing changes on secondary healing wounds was first described and instructed 1989 by G. Kammerlander at the university hospital of Zurich. This development traces back to collective years of practical experiences at the Clinic of dermatology of the university hospital Zurich (Prof. U.W. Schnyder/G. Kammerlander). The positive empirical experiences over more than one and a half decade now require underlying this method with scientific facts. Using a literature survey, the importance and significance of this practical experience will be confirmed and supported. This article will show this established and widely-used method in an updated version.
