Maintenance of proper moisture and regulation of infection are simultaneously required to promote healing of pressure ulcers. Continuous use of water-rich ointment may often lead to excess moisture and induce edematous granulation tissue. Use of water soluble ointment may excessively absorb exudates

Pressure ulcers can form with excess pressure and shearing stress on skin tissue. Because pressure ulcer is often accompanies by exudates, selection of appropriate topical emulsion ointment is difficult. Blended ointments consisting of emulsion base and water-soluble base are clinically used for adj
