This report received the 2009 Nobecutan Nursing Prize. Born to Protect. This is a study which proposes to evaluate the comfort level patients perceive when they apply the Nobecutan transparent dressing administered by an aerosol. Dressing composition: plastic composed by a 4% acrylic co-polymer, 42.98% ethyl acetate, Tetramethylthiuram disulfide 0,02% and dimethyl 53%. Characteristics: *Micro-porous, prevents maceration of the skin. *Impervious to water and micro-organisms. *Easy to use as a aerosol which upon spraying an area, forms a thin film which permits transparency over a wound and therefore constant visual control; plus this film prevents allergic reactions.
