Pain causes stress. Stress delays healing
Solutions – less pain in wound management
40% of patients state that the most devestating part of living with a chronic wound is the pain at dressing change. More than half of the respondents in the survey reported pain “quite often” to “all the time” during dressing change. Pain, and the anticipation of pain, causes stress for patients. It is well documented that stress prolongs healing1. Safetac is clinically proven to minimise pain2 - and stress3. Delayed healing means more unnecessary suffering, more staff time and prolonged hospitalisation.
Safetac technology drastically reduces pain and tissue damage at dressing change. A Safetac dressing does not stick to the moist wound, it seals the edge of the ulcer preventing maceration, and does not strip skin or cause blisters and maintains a sound wound microclimate. This allows less stressful dressing changes and less pain, possibly leading to a faster healing process.
