Wound management can be complicated, choosing the right solution doesn't have to be
The Coloplast 3 step approach to managing hard-to-heal wounds to optimise healing
Assess
Assessment is paramount in defining treatment objectives.
The Triangle of Wound Assessment is a holistic framework that allows practitioners to assess and manage all areas of the wound, including the periwound skin.
Once you have done a comprehensive assessment of the patient and wound, you can move on to developing an effective wound management plan and set specific goals for the treatment.
Prepare
Wound preparation of the wound bed, edge and periwound skin is key to remove the barriers to healing creating an optimal healing environment.
Our research tells us that clinicians currently experience key challenges with existing wound cleansing and wound debridement products such as limited functionality, low absorption and lack of usage control.
This is why we created Alprep Pad a two-in-one cleansing and debridement tool that is designed for improved absorption and ease of use.
Treat
A portfolio of dressings to manage a wound of any depth and stage of healing is required.
Considerations for treatment and dressing choice are as follows:
- The Gap and wound depth
- Risk of infectoin, Infection or Biofilm
- Exudate management
- Patient / Carer can change themselves (supported Shared Care)
Our advanced dressings are developed through open, ongoing conversations with end users and healthcare professionals.
Alprep® Pad
Alprep® Pad is a two-in-one cleansing and debridement tool designed for improved absorption and ease of use.
Suitable for a wide variety of wounds including non-infected wounds, infected wounds or wounds with suspected biofilm.
Biatain® Silicone
Biatain® Silicone with 3DFit Technology is a silicone foam dressing designed to reduce exudate pooling and thereby the risk of infection and maceration of the wound edges and periwound skin.
Biatain® Fiber
Biatain® Fiber with HexaLock Technology is an absorbent gelling fiber for deeper, undermined and highly exuding wounds. Biatain Fiber supports autolytic debridement and desloughing which promotes the wound healing process.
Biatain® Silicone Ag
Biatain® Silicone Ag with 3DFit Technology is a silicone foam dressing with silver. Biatain Silicone Ag combats infection and biofilm where it matters. Kills 99.99% of mature biofilms (P.aeruginosa) and prevents new biofilm formation, as shown in vitro.1
