Summary
This study tested two types of wound dressings in 31 cancer patients with inoperable malignant wounds. One dressing contained PHMB, a germ-fighting ingredient, and the other was a paraffin-based tulle. Researchers measured symptoms and quality of life over three months to see which dressing offered better relief.
