image Study evaluating the effects of two semiocclusive dressings (Telfa and Mitraflex), a biologic dressing (equine amnion) and an occlusive dressing (Biodres) on the healing of surgically created full-thickness distal limb wounds in horses, showed wounds dressed with Biodres developed more exuberant granulation tissue, excess exudate, and suffered delayed healing (2× compared to Telfa). Wounds dressed with amnion required minimal trimming of granulation tissue; those dressed with Telfa healed the fastest.
