Until the mid 1900s it was firmly believed that wounds healed more quickly if they were kept dry and left uncovered. After much careful research, we now understand that wounds heal faster and better when a moist environment is maintained. We suggested a new idea for dressing wide wounds. Underpants made from 100% cotton were treated with mupirocin and D-panthenol pomade in a steel container and then they were sterilized. In the last step, patients put on second underpants over the handmade dressing. This is time saving, easy to use make dressing easily and very cost effective. Furthermore, it is more comfortable for the patient and mobilization of the patient is easier than traditional dressing. Application areas may be multiple such as gloves, socks, undershirt, even brassiere for burn wounds, chronic ulcer wounds, crush injury, and skin grafted areas.Keywords: Cerrahi yaralar, yara pansumanları, pansuman, yara iyileşmesiTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2008, 28:107-109
