Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of liquid wound dressing in the treatment of chronic ulcer wounds. Methods Between January 2014 and October 2015, 84 patients with chronic ulcer wounds were included and divided into 2 groups randomly. The chronic ulcer wounds were covered with liquid wound dressing in the treatment group (n=44) and were managed with iodophor in the control group (n=40). There was no significant difference in age, gender, causes, location, wound area, and disease duration between 2 groups (P > 0.05). The frequency of dress changing, effective rate of treatment, wound healing time, wound healing rate at 5, 10, and 20 days, positive rate of bacteria culture at 1, 5, and 10 days, and the rate of side effect were recorded and compared between 2 groups. Vancouver scar scale was used to evaluate scar formation. Results The effective rate of the treatment group (100%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (85%) (P=0.009). The frequency of dress changing in the treatment group[(11.36±3.40) times] was significantly lower than that in the control group[(16.94±4.51) times] (t=-6.231, P=0.000). The wound healing rates at 5, 10, and 20 days were significantly increased (P < 0.05) and the wound healing time was significantly decreased (t=-6.627, P=0.000) in the treatment group when compared with the control group. The positive rates of bacteria culture at 5 and 10 days in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (χ2=12.313, P=0.000; P=0.005), but no significant difference was found at 1 day (χ2=0.066, P=0.797). Side effect was observed in 4 cases of the control group. Vancouver scar scale score was 8.59±1.32 in the treatment group and was 9.85±1.65 in the control group, showing significant difference (t=-3.752, P=0.000). Conclusion The application of the liquid wound dressing in the treatment of chronic ulcer wound can improve the wound healing rate, shorten the healing time and decrease the frequency of dress change, which could promote the wound healing process.
