It sometimes feels like nothing in wound care is new. After spending a half day this week helping the NHS Business Services Authority ​(BSA) team sort out the British National Formulary (BNF) categories of dressings, I began to seriously wonder how many more ‘just the same’ products we can sustain. That’s not to say that there aren’t some really great products available — just that there are also a lot of ‘me too’ ones and an awful lot of ‘almost the same’ ones. The products overlap so much and the names can be similar, it’s no wonder that clinicians get confused or stick to the products that they know.
