Our Approach to Wound Care

Comprehensive Foot Wound Assessment

Our healthcare professionals conduct a thorough assessment of foot wounds, considering various factors such as wound size, depth, location and overall health of the individual. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to understand the specific needs of the wound and customise our recommendations accordingly.

Professional Advice on Dressings

Based on the assessment, we offer advice on suitable wound dressings that promote an optimal healing environment. Proper dressings are crucial in protecting the wound, managing infection risk and supporting the healing process. We ensure that the recommended dressings are appropriate for your specific wound type and condition.

Offloading Devices in Shoes

Offloading devices play a key role in relieving pressure on the wound site, facilitating faster healing. We provide advice on the use of offloading devices within shoes, designed to redirect pressure away from the wound area. These devices aid in minimising further trauma to the wound, aiding the healing process.

Pressure Offloading Strategies

Implementing effective pressure offloading strategies is vital for managing foot wounds. Our team provides guidance on lifestyle modifications, weight distribution techniques and suitable footwear to reduce pressure on the affected area. These strategies are aimed at promoting healing and preventing complications.
