Wound Care & Dressing Changes

Ambitions Home Health Care, Inc. offers wound care and dressing changes to help patients fully recover from their injuries. A wound dressing supports healing and prevents future issues or complications. Depending on the type of wound, patients will need a specific type of dressing. However, all wound dressings are designed to:

  • Stop bleeding
  • Start clotting
  • Absorb excess plasma, blood, and other fluid
  • Remove dead skin cells

Symptoms of Wounds

Wounds can cause the following symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Malodorous pus drainage
  • Heat

Dressing a Wound

The first step in dressing a wound is to assess the bleeding. Our nurses always wear gloves when removing the bandage and assessing the extent of bleeding. Wounds that aren’t bleeding heavily will be cleaned with soap and water. Particles will be removed using tweezers and if necessary, the nurse will apply an antibiotic ointment to support healing. The wound will then be covered with an adhesive bandage.
