COMPLEX WOUND CARE

WOUNDS NEED MORE THAN JUST A BANDAGE

Not all wounds heal easily. Some take longer and need specialised care to prevent infection and further complications. If you or someone you care for is dealing with a complex wound, the right support can make life easier for everyone involved.

WOUNDS BEHAVING BADLY? LET'S RESOLVE THAT.


Complex wound management involves treating wounds that don’t heal in the usual way. This includes wounds from surgeries, diabetes, pressure sores, and injuries that take a long time to recover. A professional nurse makes sure that wounds are cleaned properly, dressed correctly, and monitored to prevent complications.

WHY PROFESSIONAL WOUND CARE IS BETTER

An experienced wound care nurse doesn’t just change bandages. They assess the wound, check for infection, and make sure healing is on track. The right care can help:



  • Reduce pain and discomfort
  • Prevent infections and other complications
  • Speed up healing time
  • Improve overall health and wellbeing

EXAMPLES OF WOUNDS THAT NEED SPECIALISED CARE

Some wounds need more attention than others. These include:


  • Surgical wounds 
    After an operation, proper wound care reduces the risk of infection. A well-maintained wound can heal faster and minimise scarring.  This is important in helping to restore normal function more quickly.


  • Diabetic ulcers 
    These need close monitoring to avoid complications. Early prevention is important. Without proper care, they can lead to infections and, in severe cases, amputation.


  • Pressure sores 
    Common for people with limited mobility, these can become serious if not treated early. Regular repositioning and skin assessments help prevent further deterioration and promote healing.


  • Infected wounds 
    Immediate attention is crucial to stop the spread of infection. Swift action, including appropriate cleaning and antibiotic treatment, can prevent more severe health risks and hospitalisation.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A WOUND CARE NURSE

An experienced nurse will:


  • Assess the wound regularly
  • Clean and dress wounds using the best methods
  • Check for signs of infection
  • Offer advice on preventing further issues
  • Work with other healthcare providers to ensure full recovery
