Background/Objectives: Foam dressings are designed for their ability to manage exudate and selected optimize wound repair. Various foam available, ranging from basic polyurethane more sophisticated options, incorporating active components combat infections or foster healing. This study investigates the requirements most suitable dressing through a combination of field research, laboratory testing, clinical evaluation. Methods: We tested 17 commonly used by care professionals while attending an international conference. An effective should absorb fluid several days, as value absorption retention capacity, often favoring less frequent changing dressings, preferably twice week even weekly. Results: The can expected amount typically produced different types. There is some variability in capacity product prices, resulting differences cost-effectiveness among products. In addition, enriched with ingredients that accelerate healing antimicrobial anti-inflammatory properties, such infused silver honey. A honey-based was evaluated survey involving eight specialists, four cases varying pathologies were discussed detail highlight its key properties. Conclusions: Ideally, have adequate capacities, effectively resolve prevent infections, protect against external trauma, ensure optimal patient comfort without damaging newly formed granulation tissue, processes, reduce time (e.g., remaining place 7 days). Together, these factors make honey- silver-loaded cost-effective than plain due activities nourish tissues.
