Wound Care Services
Proper wound care is essential for supporting the body’s natural healing process, reducing the risk of complications, and promoting comfort. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a recent injury, or living with a chronic wound such as a leg ulcer or pressure sore, regular wound cleaning and dressing changes are vital for good outcomes.
At our clinic, we offer a clean, safe, and supportive environment for wound care. Our experienced clinicians are trained in evidence-based techniques to assess, clean, and dress wounds, with a strong focus on infection control, pain management, and healing.
Even small wounds can become serious if not cared for properly. Without regular cleaning and dressing, bacteria can enter the skin and cause infections, delaying healing and increasing the risk of complications. For people with underlying health conditions such as diabetes, compromised immunity, or circulatory issues, good wound care becomes even more important.
Chronic wounds, such as venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, often require long-term management with regular professional care. We help manage these wounds with specialist dressings and compression therapies when needed, and we track progress over time to ensure your wound is healing as expected.
When you visit us for wound care, we start with a full assessment of the injury or wound. This includes checking the size, depth, colour, signs of infection, and your overall health. Based on our assessment, we’ll choose the most suitable cleaning method and dressing type. We use sterile solutions to gently clean the wound and remove debris, dried blood, or dead tissue. This helps create a clean environment for new skin cells to grow.
We also offer pain management options, such as topical anaesthetics or analgesics, for patients who experience discomfort during treatment. We then apply the most appropriate dressing. There are many types of dressings, including:
- Hydrocolloids
- Foams
- Alginates
- Films
- Antimicrobial options
Each type serves a specific purpose, whether it’s to keep the wound moist, absorb excess fluid, or prevent infection.
Our team will provide you with clear instructions on how to care for your wound between visits. This includes how to keep the area clean and dry, when to change dressings (if applicable), and what signs of infection to watch for—such as redness, swelling, discharge, or fever. If your wound requires multiple dressing changes or you are unable to manage care at home, we offer scheduled appointments to ensure you receive consistent and safe treatment throughout your healing journey.
If your wound becomes more painful, starts to smell, produces pus, or does not improve over time, it’s important to seek professional care promptly. We can reassess the wound, adjust your treatment plan, and refer you for further care if needed.
By combining clinical expertise with compassionate care, we aim to support faster healing, reduce complications, and help you return to your usual activities with confidence.
