Wound care and management at home are among the most important medical services provided by the Care medical hospital – Al Balad, where the hospital’s medical team is distinguished by its high efficiency and extensive experience in this field. In this article, we will review the latest methods and techniques used in treating and managing wounds during home visits, focusing on the role played by our specialized medical team in providing the best possible care for patients.

Classification of Wounds and Their Types

1. Acute Wounds:

These wounds result from direct injuries such as cuts or stabs and are often sharp and rapidly occurring. Treatment requires rapid and thorough wound cleaning to prevent infection and initiate wound healing effectively.

2. Chronic Wounds:

These include bedsores and diabetic ulcers that persist for long periods and require intensive and continuous care. The complexity of these wounds requires regular assessment and continuous care to ensure that the condition does not worsen.

3. Surgical Wounds:

Resulting from surgical procedures, their healing depends on the type of surgery and the location of the wound. Proper care ensures proper wound healing and reduces the chances of complications.

4. Contaminated Wounds:

These wounds are prone to infection due to contamination with bacteria and viruses. Dealing with these wounds requires advanced sterilization techniques and may involve the use of antibiotics to prevent infection progression.

Using Advanced Technology in Wound Assessment

The medical team at the Care medical hospital – Al Balad utilizes the latest technologies such as digital imaging and vacuum devices to accurately assess wounds. These technologies help in:

• Accurate wound assessment: Determining the depth and area of the wound to develop an effective treatment plan.
• Accelerating healing: Using vacuum technology helps clean the wound and remove secretions, stimulating the growth of new tissue and accelerating wound healing.

Customized Treatment Plans

1. Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) Therapy:

This technique uses negative pressure to promote wound healing, especially for large and complex wounds. Negative pressure removes secretions and stimulates blood flow to the area, helping to speed up wound healing.

2. Other Treatment Methods:

• Compression therapy: Effective for wounds suffering from swelling.
• Ultrasound therapy: Stimulates tissue growth and accelerates healing.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Uses light to improve healing and reduce inflammation.
