Tailored Dressing Choices for Diverse Wound Types

- Traditional Gauze and Bandages: Ideal for less complex wounds.
- Advanced Dressings: Such as hydrogels, alginates, and foams, for more complex or chronic wounds.
- Antimicrobial and Absorbent Dressings: To manage infection and excessive moisture.
Our skilled professionals select the most appropriate dressings based on the wound’s type, location, and healing stage.
The Process of Dressing Changes
Our dressing change process is meticulous and patient-focused:
- Gentle Removal: We carefully remove the old dressing, minimizing discomfort.
- Wound Cleaning: The wound is gently cleansed to reduce the risk of infection.
- Application of New Dressing: We apply the new dressing, ensuring it fits well and provides optimal conditions for healing.
- Patient Education: We instruct patients on how to care for their dressings at home, if applicable.
