The Ultimate HANDS-ON Wound Care Clinical lab Demonstration – Kim Saunders

Wound bed descriptors, wound dressing products, and ulcer characteristics provide challenges even for the experienced clinician. Using wound models, this hands-on video provides assessment skills through the demonstration of proper technique and product assessment. You will learn application demonstrations of most product categories- including more challenging applications of negative pressure wound therapy and compression wraps.
This recording provides an ongoing method of education for professionals, especially where the clinician must gain knowledge of various wound products options to fit the caregiver and living conditions.

Objectives:

1. Demonstrate and identify an appropriate wound assessment
2. Demonstrate accurate measurement of wounds and documentation of tunneling & undermining
3. Discuss indications, implementation, precautions for each wound product category
4. Establish a method for topical therapy triage using acronym DIWAMOPI to remember therapy triage goals

Outline:

• Wound Assessment
  • Distinguish tissue types: viable, non-viable
  • Debridement options
  • Hands-on demonstrations: measurements, tunneling & undermining, and staging of pressure ulcers
• Wound Products
  • Identify categories for wound products and what is appropriate for the wound
  • Hands-On demonstration of product examples
• Topical Triage
  • Enhanced retention of skills with demonstration of proper wound dressing on various model-wound presentations
