This website is to introduce to medical professionals the ideas on pressure ulcer management, Wrap TherapyTM. The basic idea is to treat wounds of pressure ulcers by covering them with medical film dressing or non-medical products; plastic wrap or paper diapers coated with petroleum ointment). Wrap TherapyTM resembles occlusive dressing therapy but differs in that dressing materials wrap the wound loosely and wick drainage away from the holes/slits on the film instead of tightly containing inside the wound. Although Plastic wrap is proven to be sanitary enough and in use for emergency medicine2), it is NOT approved medical supply. Therefore its use in your clients' care should be performed with cautions at the physician's discretion and with his/her informed consent. No responsibility is assumed, and responsibility is hereby disclaimed by the provider of the website for any injury and damage to persons or property resulting in the use of a plastic wrap in patient care. 2)Think Plastic Wrap as Wound Dressing for Thermal Burns www.acep.org
