In the same publication, a dressing that limits pain is most desirable which usually means an occlusive or water vapor barrier. However, a semipermeable dressing would be preferable that would control the amount of water vapor loss. A dressing that conforms to any contour, and a dressing that does not firmly attach to the tissue or interfere with the natural healing process are most desirable for superficial and full thickness skin wounds as well as deep tissue wounds. Further, a dressing that limits body water loss to less than 35 g of water vapor transmitted per m2 per hour is considered low enough to maintain a moist environment for most wounds.

These extreme positions, of heroic intervention and natural healing, eventually gave way to a more conservative position, espoused by such leading physicians as Oliver Wendell Holmes, who attempted to objectively assess the balance of risk and benefit of any particular intervention.

Hippocrates (470-410 BC), a Greek physician, is best known as the Father of Medicine. He believed in the natural healing process of rest, a good diet, fresh air, and cleanliness. Hippocrates wrote of the plight of miners exposed to lead and other work-related contaminants. Hippocrates developed a treatise of medical ideology that modern physicians acknowledge prior to beginning their practice. This is better known as the Hippocratic Oath.
