This series of 20 case studies focuses on patients with superficial skin tears treated
with BeneHold™ TASA™ Thin Absorbent Wound Dressings in a primary care
setting. This dressing incorporates a new technology combining the absorbency
of hydrocolloid adhesives with the holding power, transparency, and thinness of
acrylics. The efficacy of the dressing was evaluated in terms of wound healing, wear
time achieved, ease of application and removal, pain on dressing change and patient
and clinician satisfaction. BeneHold TASA dressings were found to be effective in
the management of superficial skin tears. The dressing was well received by both
clinicians and patients. BeneHold TASA dressings could potentially offer improved
clinical benefits and time and cost savings.
