An ulcer dressing with ibuprofen
A new wound dressing containing ibuprofen could reduce pain and improve quality of life in elderly patients with chronic leg ulcers, say Danish researchers (Wound repair Regen 2006;14:233-9).
Biatain-Ibu is a foam wound dressing that releases ibuprofen into the wound and surrounding skin; the dose released from the dressing depends on the amount of exudate absorbed into the dressing.

Plasma levels of ibuprofen are undetectable during use. In this study, mean pain intensity score was reduced from 7 at baseline to 2.5 with the dressing and quality of life scores were improved.
