Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of medical absorbent pads in the treatment of wouds. Methods A total of 200 patients treated in the Wound Treating Center of a first-class hospital between November 2014 and August 2015 were randomly divided into trial group and control group with 100 patients in each. Patients in the trial group received medical absorbent pads, while patients in the control group received the treatment of Zetuvitò E. All patients received four times of treatment. Then we used self-made observation record form to evaluate such indexes as water absorption and compliance of the dressing, patients' pain and secondary trauma scores and the score of skins around the wounds. Results There was no significant difference in water absorption property and compliance between the two groups (P>0.05). But the score of visual analogue scale was lower in the trial group than that in the control group at the fourth dressing changing (P<0.05), and the score of secondary trauma was also lower in the trial group than that in the control group at the third and fourth dressing changing (P<0.05). Conclusion The medical absorbent pads used in the trial group can relieve pain and promote wound healing. It can be used for the treatment of wounds, and also has better effectiveness and safety.
