CONVENTIONAL WOUND CARE

Chances are that you’ve used traditional wound care products at your own at home. They include gauze, lint, plasters and padding. These basic products are aimed at treating non-severe wounds.

ACUTE & CHRONIC WOUND CARE

Acute wounds progress through the normal stages of wound healing and show definite signs of healing within four weeks, while chronic wounds do not progress normally through the stages of healing (often getting ‘stalled’ in one phase) and do not show evidence of healing within four weeks.

DIABETIC
WOUND CARE

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot.

ADVANCE   WOUND CARE

Advanced wound care generally includes film and foam dressings, hydrogels, alginates and hydrocolloids. Such products are largely focused on keeping the wound hydrated to encourage healing, following the philosophy that a moist microenvironment promotes the natural healing process.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY

Negative-pressure wound therapy, also known as a vacuum assisted closure, is a therapeutic technique using a suction pump, tubing and a dressing to remove excess exudate and promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and second- and third-degree burns.
