Wound dressings
Pink epithelialising
-
-
Aim of products- Low adherent contact layer to prevent damage to the wound bed. Dressing needs to be vapour permeable.
Red Granulating wounds
Aim of tx- Promote healing: angiogenesis, dranulation, epithelialisation, and provide a healthy wound bed for epithelialisation to take place.
-
-
Hypergranulation
Aim of tx- Curb proliferation and granulation as well as promoting epithelialisation. The cause of the hypergranulation needs to be addressed and tended to nefore anything else. A biopsy may have to be taken if there is any suspicion of abnormal growth or if the hypergranulation is recurrent.
Aim of product- reduce bio burden, address moisture balance, decrease cellular activity, increase topical pressure to flatten the area if raised, and protect wound from shearing forces.
-
Exudating wounds
-
-
Product options
Aquacel (normal or ag, or rope to wick exudate)

Necrotic wounds/ eschar
Aim of tx- Establish the cause of the necrosis as well as the blood supply before debriding the wound. Debriding needs to take place to get the dead space off to establish a good wound bed conducive to healing.
Aim of product- Moisture balance, absorb exudate. Hydrate dry or necrotic tissue before debridement.
