Summary A new wound dressing, chitin non-woven fabric was applied in 91 patients for dressing of donor sites, skin graft areas, raw areas under pedicle flaps and those associated with skin abrasion, as well as burns and skin ulcers. Chitin dressing showed excellent results with regard to satisfactory pain relief, adherence to the wound and drying without dissolution or other adverse effects.
