Figure 4.

Mean in vitro moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) values of the seven test dressings compared to the median in vivo fluid‐handling capacity of the same dressings derived from Kaplan–Meier analysis of artificial wound model data. Data are segregated into four quadrants for easier viewing. Dressings with lower MVTR values tended to have lower in vivo fluid‐handling capacity; however, higher in vitro MVTR values did not necessarily result in higher in vivo fluid‐handling capabilities.
