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.

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.

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)
