At Mölnlycke we offer a streamlined portfolio of easy-to-use products for effective management of DFUs.
Cleanse
A healthy wound bed is essential to the wound healing process. Select a gentle skin cleanser with a pH close to that of the skin to cleanse the wound bed and surrounding skin.
Debride
Debridement is essential in wound bed preparation. Mechanical debridement pads can help you remove slough and debris.
Oxygenate
Oxygen is an important requirement in the complex process of wound healing. Addressing oxygen deficiency through topical oxygen therapy can help improve wound healing outcomes.
Manage infection
Infection is an ever-present risk and serious complication of chronic wounds. It causes patients additional pain and discomfort, can delay wound healing and lead to hospital readmittance.
Dress
Choice of dressing matters, especially in difficult-to-dress areas. The correct dressing should manage exudate, protect the wound and ensure patient comfort to help promote optimal wound healing conditions.
Offloading
Offloading is essential in DFU treatment. Encourage patients to use pressure-relieving footwear as appropriate.
