Wound Lavage

shelly jefferies — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 10:44:02 GMT

Effective wound lavage is a crucial step of wound management, everyone has heard the saying "the solution to pollution, is dilution" and this is true with wound lavage. It is important to ensure you are using the correct amounts of lavage solution, the correct lavage solution and are achieving a PSI (pressure) suitable to do an effective job. It's not something we are taught much about in our vet nurse training, but it is something which can make a huge difference in practice.

There are loads of standard operating procedures in place in our practices, to ensure the smooth, safe and effective running of our clinics, but not many practices have a wound management SOP but this is something we should be looking to pushing forward, so everyone is doing the correct and same procedures, to maximise the wounds healing potential.

We have some great webinars available on wound management. Interested? Why not take a look at vetwoundlibrary.com for more information on becoming a member.

Tie over dressings are a fantastic way to hold dressings in place over wounds that are more difficult to bandage. The loops of suture material can stay in place for up to 14 days (patient tolerance and careful observation required). Image either side of tail courtesy of Hanna Callister RVN.

And a lovely article to go with it!
