Treatment Goals

Through our regular Vascular Grand rounds it was discussed that the patient will need to start mobilising and that she is a large falls risk. This meant a Vac machine was removed from the equation. The overall aim is safe mobilising with good footwear whilst protecting the wound bed..

Aim of Dressing

Aid in moist wound healing and protecting the wound bed whilst the patient wears foot wear and mobilses

Frequency of Dressing Change

2 Days(s) Min - 7 Days (Max)
