Reduces pain Improves cosmesis of scar Control negative factors, such as: - Exudate - Smell - QOL impacts: appearance, ability to continue to work, keep clothes dry Prevents infections or controls it BEFORE CONSIDERING ANY WOUND DRESSING Do I understand the action of the dressing? Do I know its limitations/ contraindications? Do I know how to properly place and safely remove the dressing? Do I know when it should be used over another dressing? SELECTION OF DRESSING IS BASED ON THE WOUND & THE WOUNDS CHARACTERISTICS 1) Phase of healing (epithelialisation, granulation, inflammation, necrosis) 2) Exudate, infection, tissue damage 3) Size and depth 4) Pain, odour, surrounding skin type, location of wound CONSIDER If a single dressing is all that is needed Or if a tiered system of primary/secondary with optional fixation is required.
