Beyond wound healing

Description

Supplemented with clinical photos and precise diagrams, this program quantifies wound assessment and describes approaches to wound healing. The physiological healing cascade and infection flags are discussed, along with case studies spanning an age range of 31 to 78. A deep bruise, a leg ulcer complicated by eczema, an infected surgical incision, and a necrotic neck tumor are presented, allowing the introduction of subjects such as the hydrobalance, hydrosorptive, hydroactive, and hydroionic methods of wound dressing; graduated compression therapy; and odor reduction.
