| In the formation of this eschar several things require particular attention. |
| Local tissue reactions were confined to the treatment site and included erythema, swelling, desquamation, erosions, and eschar in most patients. |
| The sore is generally healthy after the separation of the eschar, and no constitutional disorder ensues. |
| The base of the ulcer is purulent with hemorrhagic exudate, partially covered by necrotic eschar, with or without granulation tissue. |
| The eschar is at first dry and crisp, and is surrounded by a zone of pallor. |
| Transparent film dressings maintain a moist environment, promoting granulation tissue formation and autolytic debridement of slough and eschar. |
