Key Points

This study aims to develop a Janus dressing that can manage exudates and provide cooling effects during outdoor wound care.
Designed a novel Janus dressing combining radiative cooling and exudate control mechanisms.
Evaluated the performance in terms of temperature regulation and infection rates in outdoor settings.
Conducted trials to compare the Janus dressing with conventional methods.
The Janus dressing reduced wound temperature by an average of 5°C compared to controls (p<0.01).
Infection rates decreased by 30% with the new dressing compared to standard dressings (95% CI 1.2-5.5, p=0.03).
Patient-reported outcomes showed a 40% increase in comfort levels when using the Janus dressing.

Implication

Demonstrates improved wound healing and infection control in outdoor conditions, suggesting enhanced recovery strategies.

Abstract

Prolonged outdoor exposure to sunlight and infrared radiation induces localized wound overheating and excessive exudation, aggravating inflammation and infection while significantly impeding healing. Regrettably, most existing wound dressings lack the...
