用法筆記
Frequently used in the phrases 'Unna boot' or 'Unna dressing.' The term appears mostly in clinical wound-care settings and is rarely encountered in everyday speech. Named after the German dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna (1850–1929), who developed the paste formulation. The dressing is changed every 5–14 days depending on the wound's condition.
