Assessment

Wound care begins with a thorough evaluation of the wound’s type, size, depth, and any signs of infection. Clinicians also assess contributing factors such as immobility, fragile skin, diabetes, and other underlying health conditions to ensure an accurate diagnosis and personalized plan of care.
