My clients always self-manage their wounds with warm air from their dryer.
How much enhancement of healing occurs I do not know, but I DO know that each and every one of them reports that it is SO SOOTHING ... they never dab their wound with anything at all.

Apologies for the x posting.
Have a query on behalf of a colleague.
Does anyone know of any research regarding the use of warm air (ie hair driers) to help heal peri & abdo wounds.
We did it years ago & it went "out" possibly with the moist wound healing phase. She is after actual research for evidence based prac, has googled & MIDIRd for it but nothing so far.
I will ask our skin integrity nurse too.
Any research you all know of ?
With kind regards
