Wet-to-dry dressings have been the subject of debate in recent years. In the past they were the mainstay for wound care, but many experts now advise against it, in favor of dressings that maintain moisture, like wet-to-moist dressings. So, is there any utility for wet-to-dry dressings? If so, when?
Wet dressings only in an open wound in chronic fase.
In acute and subacute fase dry dressings because it helps to clean the wound faster
In my opinion nowadays with new devices and dressings there is no more place for wet to dry technique
You can use it only in limited cases and in absence of any other dressing

Yes, in case of local fungus infection of the wound or massive wound discharge
