Exploring the Essential Features of “Wound Hygiene Manual – Laura Swoboda”
Wound hygiene is an evidence-based treatment concept that combines wound bed preparation with biofilm based wound management to optimize healing outcomes. In this session, the processes of cleansing, debriding, refashioning wound edges, and finally choosing a dressing for wounds will be covered. A knowledge of safe and effective choices to accomplish each of these steps allows healthcare professionals to maximize wound healing potential.
