A few weeks ago while out in California for a seminar, Nancy took me out for a treat, my first visit to an IN-N-OUT Burger. Now if you have never been to an IN-N-OUT burger, the big secret is the simplicity of choices you have to make, there are only 3. You can order a Number 1, a Number 2 or a Number 3, that’s it, no more options. While sitting there eating my number 3, I was thinking how much easier it would be if wound care only had three choices, Treatment number 1 for necrotic wounds, treatment number 2 for infected wounds, and treatment number 3 for clean wounds.
Unfortunately choosing wound treatments is much more complicated. Each wound has its own attributes and is attached to a patient that has their own unique characteristics. Add to that, the thousands of dressing options, tapes, cleansers, ointments, lotions, equipment, fillers, barriers, protectors, wraps, modalities . . . there is just no way these could ever be simplified down to 3 options.
At WCEI, we realize the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in navigating through a maze of wound care products and regulations, all the while trying to make informed treatment recommendations. We cannot narrow the options down to three choices for you, but it is our hope that this wound care blog will offer ideas and information that will keep you up to date with the latest and greatest wound management technologies and industry trends.
