Good wound care will minimize the inflammatory response, speed healing and minimize scarring. Dressings for acute wounds

JELONET is soothing and low-adherent and allows the wound to drain freely into an absorbent secondary dressing. The principles outlined for acute wounds remain true for chronic wounds including leg ulcers or surgical wounds healing by secondary intention.Foam dressings are ideally suited for superficial and dry wounds eg after ablative resurfacing procedures and chronic ulcers since they provide padding that can relieve pressure over bony prominences. Factoring in how easy a dressing will be to remove is also important. Ideally, burns should be covered with a dressing that won’t adhere to the wound surface and be painful to remove. Notice any yellowish pus, persistent redness, warmth around the wound, or an unpleasant smell? These are common signs of infection. Burnshield products are made from a specially formulated hydrogel for high-performance burncare. Burnshield hydrogel contains natural tea-tree oil that is antibacterial to fight infection and has a high water content which consistently cools a burn wound area to accelerate the healing process. A key priority in effective burn treatment is to protect healthy tissue and to debride (remove) non-viable, damaged or dead tissue to prevent infection and promote healing. Assess the type of tissue at the base of the burn area to determine what burn dressing types are required. Less severe, superficial burns will simply need to be covered and protected with a burn dressing, whereas more severe burns and those with broken blisters will likely require debridement.

The hydrogel should be covered by an absorbent layer, made of gauze or cotton, and an outer layer of tape, netting or roll bandage. If the wound seems to be enlarging, deepening, or there's increased pain, these could be signs that it's not healing properly.While Jelonet is adept at handling light to moderate exudate, if your wound consistently produces high levels, it might be indicative of a deeper issue. Sterile dressings should be applied to acute wounds, including those due to skin surgery, for the following reasons.
