Transparent film is a suitable dressing for the clean partial-thickness wound with minimal exudate.Strip packing and alginate dressings are unsuitable for a stage II ulcer because the ulcer does not involve a deep crater suitable for filling with strip packing or alginate for absorption of moderate-to-heavy exudate.Nonstick pads are suitable for abrasions to keep the dressing from adhering to the wound.
