Wound Management
Wound management focuses on the proper evaluation and treatment of acute, chronic, and non-healing wounds. Timely and appropriate care helps prevent infection, promotes faster healing, and reduces the risk of complications.
Types of Wounds Treated
- Acute wounds and traumatic injuries
- Post-surgical wounds
- Chronic non-healing wounds
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Infected wounds and abscess-related wounds
Treatment Approach
Effective wound management begins with identifying the underlying cause and providing targeted treatment to support tissue healing.
Common Wound Care Measures Include:
- Regular wound assessment and cleaning
- Debridement of dead or infected tissue
- Advanced wound dressings
- Infection control with appropriate medications
- Skin grafting (STSG) for selected non-healing wounds
Early and structured wound care significantly improves healing outcomes and patient comfort.
Prevention & Aftercare
Proper wound care and follow-up are essential to prevent recurrence and ensure complete healing.
- Keep wounds clean and protected
- Follow dressing and medication instructions strictly
- Maintain good blood sugar control in diabetic patients
