The right treatment.
For your wound.

We assess wound size, depth, tissue condition, drainage and the surrounding skin, together with relevant health and circulation findings. Measurements and photographs, with patient consent, may be used to document progress.

Cleansing and removal of non-viable tissue may help prepare a wound for healing. The method of debridement is selected according to the wound, circulation, patient comfort and clinical needs.

Dressings are chosen to suit the wound's tissue condition, drainage and surrounding skin. The treatment plan includes how often dressings should be changed and how the wound should be cared for between visits.

Compression can be an important part of treatment for suitable venous wounds and swelling. We assess arterial circulation and other relevant conditions before deciding on the type and level of compression.

Reducing pressure on a wound may require changes to footwear, protective devices, positioning or mobility routines. Our team provides guidance and can coordinate podiatric assessment when needed.

We assess for infection and arrange appropriate treatment. Antibiotics, further investigations or surgical treatment may be required depending on the findings.

For wounds affected by circulation, care may include arterial or venous ultrasound and other vascular investigations. Our vascular surgeons determine whether treatment of arterial disease, superficial venous reflux or incompetent perforating veins is appropriate.

We explain dressing care, skin protection, pressure relief and symptoms that should prompt review. We also consider nutrition, diabetes management, smoking and other factors that may affect healing.
