English
Authors' recommendations:
A total of nineteen randomized controlled trials were retrieved; the literature search did not identify any clinical practice guideline or evidence on the optimal protocol for changing dressings. The included reports evaluated twenty-five specific dressing trade names that could be grouped in fourteen different dressing classes. Gauze-based dressings were reported to be the least favorable among the different dressing classes.
