Wound Care

Post-operative incision care including sterile dressing changes, staple and suture monitoring, drain management, and coordination with the surgical team on healing progress.

Staging, cleaning, and dressing pressure injuries with appropriate wound care products — plus repositioning schedules and support surface recommendations to promote healing.

Specialized treatment for diabetic foot ulcers and skin breakdown, including offloading techniques, glucose management coordination, and patient education on prevention.

Compression therapy, wound bed preparation, and vascular health monitoring for patients with chronic venous insufficiency or peripheral arterial disease-related wounds.

Detailed measurement, photography, and staging at every visit — tracking wound progression to ensure the treatment plan is working and adjusting when it's not.

Application and management of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) devices that accelerate healing in complex or large wounds by removing fluid and promoting tissue growth.

Sterile technique, culture collection when infection is suspected, antibiotic coordination with physicians, and patient education on signs of wound infection to watch for.

Teaching caregivers how to perform basic dressing changes between nurse visits, recognize warning signs, maintain proper nutrition for healing, and keep the wound environment clean.
