Wound care
Varieties of skin lesions and wounds our unit deals with:
- treatment of bedridden patients' chronic wounds, including house calls
- ulcus cruris (leg ulcer)
- bedsore (decubitus ulcer), predominantly at pressure exposed sites such as sacral bone, heels
- diabetic leg syndrome (diabetics' ulcers, predominantly on soles)
- contaminated, infected wounds
- other wounds and ulcers of dermatological origin
- wounds with delayed healing after accidents and surgery
We operate a house call team going on location to your or your relative's home. As part of our home based care service, our team's doctors or specialist nurses prepare your individual wound care plan, delivering a comprehensive package of professional and careful lesion treatment including on site application of state of the art bandaging material, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals. The house call suite of services includes lifestyle related and other specific counselling to you and to your relative, such as tuition sessions on bandage handling, hygiene management and supervision, etc.

Wound onset and treatment facts
The skin is a complex and live organ. Its integrity is influenced by a number of factors such as ageing, nutrition, diseases, pressure, and incontinence. Skin disorders can strongly affect the patient's quality of life and the costs associated with treatment. That is why preserving a healthy skin and its integrity is of fundamental importance.
Wound care and healing requires a special approach, training, and professional personnel with expertise in infection control. Strict protocols govern the process; nursing staff is only allowed to act under doctor's orders and guidance. Wound cleaning, disinfection, bandaging, and healing control are tasks that take high levels of proficiency and responsibility. The greatest risks are associated with wound infections; they can be diminished at best, but never fully eliminated even with utmost carefulness.
Fortunately, the latest developments in technology provide tried-and-tested modern equipment, bandaging and wound care techniques and material, to assist the medical personnel's job and to ensure full comfort and convenience for the patients.
The industry produces what are referred to as intelligent wound care packages, available in sealed and sterile units. These “smart bandages” include high absorption bandaging pads, impregnated dressings combined with metallic components, flexible bandages to allow convenient limb motion, highly adhesive bandage sealers for perfect fixture, tubular bandages, and Priessnitz wraps. A full range of modern equipment is at hand to manage wound healing as a natural and unproblematic process. Smart bandages are suitable for acute and chronic wound care alike, offering innovative solutions for prevention of skin disorders and treatment of wounds, increasing patient comfort and reducing costs.
Contrary to popular belief, the main challenge lies not in the postoperative care of infected surgical wounds but rather in those acute and chronic lesions developing primarily as consequences of various risk factors such as diabetes, vascular stenosis, and bedsore.
