Traditional wound closure techniques involving conventional suture, staples and wound dressings may not be the optimal choice to achieve the primary objective of multi-layer, watertight closure.6
Reducing risk factors and improving healing can be achieved with appropriate surgical technique and postoperative care. You can optimise tissue management through the principles of wound healing: gentle handling of tissues, careful haemostasis, obliteration of dead space, and avoidance of tension.7,8 Appropriate choice of wound dressing should manage wound bioburden, limit cross contamination and promote a wound healing environment. 9
Let’s work together to reduce infection risk, shorten length of stay and minimise readmissions.
