Proper wound management is crucial for optimal recovery following surgery. Our team of registered nurses will work closely with you to ensure that your wound is properly cleaned, dressed, and monitored for signs of infection.
Wound Management & Optimal Recovery
As part of our wound management care, we will also provide detailed instructions on how to care for your wound at home, including how to change dressings and monitor for signs of complications. With our expert care and attention, you can rest assured that your recovery is in good hands.
Why Bandages and Dressings are Important
Bandages and dressings cover and protect surgical wounds from infection and further injury. They also control bleeding and promote healing. Your surgeon will give instructions on how to care for your incisions, and your nurse will instruct you on how to independently care for these incisions.
The Importance of Keeping the Wound Clean
Keeping your wound clean is essential for preventing infection. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on cleaning your wound, but in general, you should clean the area around the wound with mild soap and water and gently pat it dry. You must also avoid soaking the wound in water. Our nurses have specialized training in wound care, and they ensure your wound heals quickly while avoiding infections.
How to Care for Your Wound
In addition to keeping the wound clean, it’s also important to check for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, warmth, or increased pain. You should also avoid exposing your wound to direct sunlight and avoid strenuous activities that could cause the wound to open or bleed.
