Preterm infants are at unique risk of skin injury due to their immature skin structure. This risk increases with exposure to essential nursing and medical interventions during neonatal intensive care. Wound care for this population is challenging due to the unique properties of the preterm infant’s skin and limited evidence base. This case series demonstrates the successful use of film-forming wound dressings (Stratamed, Stratpharma AG, Switzerland) for the treatment of a variety of preterm skin injuries.
