Wound assessment, treatment, healing, and recovery are interconnected stages in managing wounds, each crucial for optimal outcomes. A comprehensive wound assessment establishes a baseline, guides treatment selection, and monitors healing progress. Effective treatment addresses the wound's underlying cause, promotes healing, and manages complications. Healing involves various phases, with the goal of restoring tissue integrity and function. Recovery focuses on long-term management, addressing potential complications, and optimizing patient well-being.
Assessment
Assess the patient, the wound (if applicable), as well as environmental and system challenges.
Identify risk and causative factors that may impact skin integrity and wound healing.
Treatment
Cleaning and Debridement: Removes debris and necrotic tissue to create a clean wound bed.
Wound Bed Preparation: Addresses factors that impede healing, such as infection, moisture imbalances, or poor circulation.
Dressing Selection: Chooses appropriate dressings based on exudate levels, wound type, and treatment goals.
Pain Management: Provides pain relief to improve patient comfort and compliance.
Infection Control: Administers antibiotics, manages wound infections, and promotes wound healing.
Healing
Hemostasis: Stops bleeding and initiates the inflammatory response.
Inflammation: Provides nutrients and growth factors to initiate tissue repair.
Proliferation: Tissue growth and formation of new blood vessels.
Remodeling: The wound matures and strengthens.
Recovery
Long-Term Management: Addresses potential complications, such as scar tissue formation or recurrence.
Patient Education: Provides patients and their families with information about wound care and self-management.
Follow-up Care: Regular monitoring and adjustments to treatment plans to ensure optimal outcomes.

How Sorbact® Technology dressings can support Infection Management
Sorbact® Technology works by binding bacteria through a purely physical mode of action and removing them from the wound without releasing any active agents. Development of antimicrobial resistance is not expected.

Sorbion® Technology
Sorbion Technology works by absorbing the excess exudate from wound, balancing the moisture at the wound site, and protecting the wound edges & peri wound area from maceration that promotes the healing needs of chronic wounds.
