FAQs

Why does effective wound care matter?

Effective wound care is crucial for several reasons. It promotes proper healing by creating an optimal environment that supports new tissue growth and skin regeneration. Using suitable wound care supplies helps reduce the risk of infection, which can otherwise cause complications and delay the healing process. Effective wound care also minimises scarring by keeping the wound clean, moist and protected.

What should I use to clean a wound?

General wound cleaning products like saline solutions and antiseptics are commonly recommended. Saline solutions are gentle and effective for rinsing away debris without causing irritation. Mild antiseptics are useful for disinfecting wounds to reduce the risk of infection, especially for minor cuts, abrasions or post-surgical wounds. However, it's important to choose antiseptics carefully, as some may cause tissue irritation or delay healing. Avoid harsh chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, which can irritate the tissue and slow healing

For more severe wounds, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional before proceeding with cleaning.

What are the most common types of wound dressings, and how do they differ?

The most common types of wound dressings include:

• Absorbent dressings — Designed to soak up excess fluid from wounds to prevent maceration and promote healing. Ideal for moderate to heavily exuding wounds.
• Antimicrobial dressings — Contain agents like silver or iodine to reduce infection risk and support healing. Commonly used for wounds with a high infection risk.
• Foam dressings — Provide cushioning and moisture retention while allowing excess fluid to be absorbed. Suitable for wounds with moderate exudate.
• Island dressings — Adhesive dressings with a central absorbent pad, providing protection and absorption for minor cuts, abrasions and surgical wounds.

How often should I change wound dressings?

The frequency of dressing changes depends on various factors, including the type of wound, the type of dressing used and your healthcare provider’s instructions. Some dressings, such as foam or hydrocolloid dressings, are designed to remain in place for several days, providing consistent protection and moisture retention. Others, like gauze or adhesive dressings, may require more frequent changes, especially if they become saturated or dirty. Regularly monitoring the wound and following recommended dressing change guidelines is essential for promoting proper healing and minimising the risk of infection.

How should I store wound care products?

Store wound care products in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Always check the packaging for specific storage instructions, as some wound products may have temperature requirements. For example, certain topical preparations or specialised dressings may need to be kept at room temperature or refrigerated. Regularly check expiry dates of wound care supplies to ensure they remain safe and effective for use.
