If you have ever suffered with a severe laceration or burn, you know that the dressing used for it was different than traditional wound dressings.  Typically, when there is a second or third degree burn involved, aquacel dressings are used since they have silver infused in them that helps keep bacteria out and speed healing.  These are also used with deep lacerations and pressure wounds.  These dressings are cut to be larger than the affected area and they keep the wounded area moist so it doesn’t dry out and scab.  This helps with healthier skin replacement and absorbs fluid and blood while protecting the wound.
