What is Wound Care?
Wound Care involves the use of medical devices and procedures to clean wounds, help speed the healing process, and protect the wound from infection or further injury. Wound Care medical devices can be classified according to their function: wound cleansers, debridement (tissue removal) devices and agents, closure devices, positioners, barriers, and dressings.
Wound cleansers are water- or alcohol-based products that are intended to remove or rinse off dirt, debris, seepage, blood, and other material from a wound prior to closing or dressing the wound. Many cleansers contain antiseptics, detergents, emulsifiers (substances that allow unrelated substances to mix), wetting agents, and moisturizers. Cleansers are typically used each time a dressing is applied.
Debridement is the removal of dead or dying tissue from a wound. Debridement can be performed by tools, such as scalpels or tweezers, or substances called debridement agents, such as ointments or lotions that have chemicals or medications that can break up dead tissue so that it falls or peels off easily.
When possible, wounds are closed to bring the two sides of a wound together. Closure dramatically speeds up the body's ability to lay down new skin over the wound. Closure devices include stitches, staples, and adhesive strips. Some closure devices, such as butterfly strips, adhesive strips, or ZipStitch closure strips, are available at pharmacies without a prescription.
Positioners place the wounded body part into a particular position or protect against further injury. Positioners include splints, pillows, wedges, suspension pads, foam boots, and similar devices.
Barriers are creams, gels, ointments, or lotions that are spread over a wound to protect it from outside moisture and other environmental contaminants. Many barriers are also intended to help keep the wound from drying out. Barriers may include other substances that can fight infection, cleanse the wound, or help remove dead tissue. Some wounds, such as minor scrapes, burns, or sunburns, may only require cleaning and the application of a barrier.
Dressings are the physical devices that cover a wound and protect it from the environment. They include adhesive bandages, cloth bandages, foam dressings, gauze, hydrogels, silicone gels, wound fillers, hydrocolloids, contact layers, alginates, and collagens. Each type of dressing is designed to protect the wound from the environment, absorb seepage, manage airflow to and from the wound, prevent infection, and maintain an optimally moist environment for wound healing.
