Wound care

All therapists at HULC are qualified to perform simple through to complex wound care.

Some examples of wound care that your therapist is qualified to perform include

  1. Dressing Changes: Applying and changing advanced dressings for wounds that require specialised care, such as those with significant drainage or risk of infection.
  2. Neurovascular Tests: Assessing the blood flow and nerve function in new flaps or graft sites to ensure proper healing and functionality.
  3. Suture and Steri-Staple Removal: Carefully removing sutures and steri-staples once the wound has sufficiently healed to avoid reopening the wound or causing additional trauma.
  4. Debridement: Cleaning the wound to remove dead tissue, which promotes healthy tissue growth and reduces the risk of infection.
  5. Infection Management: Monitoring for signs of infection and applying appropriate treatments and coordinating with the treating doctor or surgeon if necessary.
  6. Education and Self-Care Training: Teaching patients how to care for their wounds at home, including proper cleaning techniques and signs of complications to watch for.
