Presented by:
Dr. M. Paul
Primary Care Provider – Wound Care Protocol
Principles of wound bed
preparation
• Debridement
• Moisture balance
• Bacterial balance
5 Tips for the Clinician• Assess patient and patient’s wound with each dressing change.
• Keep dressing as thin as possible in the plantar surface.
• If packing, wick it. Remember, “Fluff. Don’t stuff”.
• Temperature of affected limb is important. It may indicate infection, inflammation and/or
decreased vascular supply.
• Listen to the patient and/or his circle of care.
