Wound Care
Practicing proper wound care is critical for anyone who is recovering from a traumatic injury or medical procedure. Taking good care of a wound helps it to heal quickly and well, without getting infected. The recovery process has enough challenges without dealing with an infected or stubborn injury.
Additionally, healing happens more slowly as people age, and some health conditions such as diabetes and edema can slow healing. If you are part of those populations, taking scrupulously good care of your wound is even more important.
Always ask your physician or specialist for specific advice about treating your wound. If you’ve seen a doctor for surgery or any kind of injury, you should receive care instructions. Please comply with them, and let the instructions guide your wound care product purchases.
Here at ITC Medical Supplies, we’ve got a broad selection of wound care supplies. We welcome your visit to our two stores in San Francisco, California, on Divisadero St. in Lower Pacific Heights, and on Geary in the Richmond District. Our expert and compassionate team is always available to answer your questions.
Cleansers
Cleansers are used to remove foreign debris and contaminants such as bacteria from the injury or to irrigate deep lacerations. Some cleansers require rinsing, some are conveniently rinse-free.
Dressings
Wound dressings have enjoyed tremendous technological advances in the last few decades. Various dressings have different features and advantages to recommend them. For example, alginate dressings, made from brown seaweed, can be placed directly in contact with the wound. Collagen-based dressings, made from bovine or porcine tissue, stimulate the body’s collagen fibers which promote new growth of tissue and blood vessels.
Hydrogel Dressings
Hydrogel dressings are made mostly of water. They are available in moist gel sheets, dry sheets, and tubes. Hydrogel dressings help to soften necrotic tissue, making it easier to gently remove.
We hope you understand how important wound care is. This important topic has a lot that doesn’t meet the eye, so we advise our clientele to always follow their doctor’s instructions and buy from a store with a big selection and a knowledgeable and compassionate staff.
