Wound Care & Dressing
A wound, whether it’s a tiny cut or a serious one, requires immediate treatment. The wound must be cared for and dressed if it is not minor damage. Dressings make it easier to keep the proper moisture balance for wound healing. CareBridge allows you to get healthcare in the privacy of your own home. Clinical competence is prioritized, together with a better patient experience at an accessible price.

Types Of Wound Dressing

-
Hydrogel dressing: This type of dressing is for wounds with little to no excess fluid, painful wounds, necrotic wounds, pressure ulcers, etc.
-
Alginate dressing: Alginate dressings are used for moderate to high amounts of wound drainage, venous ulcers, packing wounds, and pressure ulcers in stage III or IV.
-
Collagen dressing: A collagen dressing can be used for chronic or stalled wounds, ulcers, bedsores, transplant sites, surgical wounds, etc.
-
Foam dressing: For wounds of varying degrees of severity, foam dressings work very well, as well as for injuries that exhibit odors.
-
Transparent dressing: Transparent dressings are useful when our medical staff or carers want to monitor wound healing, as these dressings cover the wound with a clear film.
-
Cloth/gauze dressing: Cloth dressings are the most commonly used dressings, often used to protect open wounds or areas of broken skin.
