RECRUITING

Hydrocolloid Dressings for Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Wound Healing

Description

This study aims to explore the use of a hydrocolloid dressing (DuoDERM EXTRA THIN) as an alternative to the current standard of care. The dressing would be applied immediately after surgery and removed at a post-operative week 1 appointment. The dressing would eliminate the need for antibiotic ointment application and reduce the burden of post-operative care on the patient.
