This is about donor sites rather than pressure ulcers, but interesting http://www.jcdr.net/articles/pdf/1873/17%20-%203709.(A).pdf

You would be best to use google scholar to find peer reviewed/published research. Just use the key words hydrocolloid paraffin gauze.
Lots of results.
You can see the abstracts, but for some you might need to use your ATHENS account if you have one.
