Wound dressings should always be assessed when examining wounds. If the dressing is saturated, it may indicate that moisture is a concern. Wounds that are highly exudative require dressings with absorptive qualities consistent with the topical care plan. Most absorptive dressings are considered at capacity with ≥75% saturation. If the moisture is overwhelming while using a highly absorptive dressing, you should consider increasing the dressing frequency.
