Abstract:
The selection of wound management products by nurses can be an area of confusion. Healthcare professionals involved with tissue viability issues have to make choices from a wide range of commercially available products to suit wound conditions. This article recounts the challenges facing a specialist nurse and his selection of a range of Smith & Nephew Healthcare products, when he was asked for expert advice to promote granulation in a massive wound following debridement for extensive abscess formation in the lower abdominal, perineum and ischial areas.
