WUWHS Publishes New Guideline on Wound Balance and Early Intervention Strategies

The World Union of Wound Healing Societies published this week the new Consensus Document on Wound Balance, a medical concept unifying in a holistic approach the patient and their wound so clinicians can plan and achieve better outcomes. Based on the expertise and findings of a global network of wound care clinicians, the document provides recommendations and practical tips for implementing Wound Balance through early intervention, biomarkers management and individualized care, including patient communication strategies and resource optimization. SAP dressings play a key role within this approach, ensuring multifactorial, wound-balance benefits that wounds of various aetiologies require from a dressing, supporting the shift back to a normal healing trajectory. The recommendations of this WUWHS Consensus are equally applicable to all wound care practitioners in all clinical settings, including nurses, podiatrists, vascular specialists, general physicians and acute care clinicians.
