Wound management is an ongoing treatment of a wound, by providing appropriate environment for healing, by both direct and indirect methods, together with the prevention of skin breakdown.
A wound is a disruption to the integrity of the skin that leaves the body vulnerable to pain and infection.
The skin is the body’s largest organ and is responsible for protection, sensation, thermoregulation, metabolism, excretion and cosmetic.
Poorly managed wounds are one of the leading causes of increased morbidity and extended healing time.
