Wound and Edema Management
Reversal of the underlying disorder (if possible), dietary sodium restriction (to minimize fluid retention), and, in most patients, diuretic therapy.
Use of Amniotic Membranes
Amionotic membrane is a rich source of biologically active factors and as such, promotes healing and acts as an effective material for wound dressing.
Non-Healing Wounds
Also called chronic wounds, are those that fail to heal within the usual period of four weeks to three months.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
An open injury or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes, and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot.
Treatment of Pressure Injuries
Irrigate or clean the wound with soap and water or saline (sterile saltwater solution). Dress (cover) the wound with special medical bandages designed to promote healing.
Sharp Debridement
A method for the removal of loosely adherent necrotic tissue using sterile instruments such as scalpel, forceps, and scissors, confined to nonviable tissue so no blood loss is aniticipated.
Treatment of Surgical Wounds
Debride the wound by removing dead or infected tissue in the wound.
