Anthony Culyer, John MacFie and Adam Wagstaff

Social Science & Medicine, 1983, vol. 17, issue 15, 1047-1053

Abstract: This study compares the cost per case of treating wounds with conventional gauze dressings or with silastic foam elastomer dressings and concludes that the foam dressing is less costly both in terms of materials and of labour time.
