Wound Care and Dressings
We do provide wound management for acute injuries, including wound management.
The most common wounds seen in general practice include:
- skin tear
- cut and abrasions
- surgical wound
Principles of wound management
- Stop profuse bleeding
- Ensure tetanus status is current
- Identify underlying pathology that may influence healing
- Control oedema and the inflammatory phase of healing
- Select a dressing to meet the needs of the tissue and to protect from further injury
- Reassess to achieve complete epithelialisation within an expected time frame.
