Choosing the most appropriate dressing: a practical guide.
- Authors
Brown, Annemarie
- Abstract
Selection of the most appropriate wound dressing is vital for promoting effective wound healing. With the vast number of options of wound dressings currently available, healthcare professionals may find it confusing to select the most appropriate dressing (World Union of Wound Healing Societies [WUWHS], 2020a). This article discusses the importance of wound assessment, focusing on identifying goals of treatment and the selection of an appropriate dressing to manage any identified barriers to healing. In turn, this will help community nurses provide person-centred care that promotes healing and improves overall patient wellbeing.
