What Is Professional Wound Care?

Professional wound care involves the cleaning, assessment, treatment, and dressing of wounds to ensure proper healing.
This includes:

  • Thorough cleaning and disinfecting
  • Assessment of wound depth and severity
  • Removal of debris (if needed)
  • Medical-grade dressings
  • Infection prevention
  • Ongoing monitoring

Even small wounds can become infected without proper treatment.

1. Cuts & Lacerations

Superficial or deeper cuts that may require cleaning, dressings, or stitches.

2. Burns (Minor)

Thermal, chemical, or friction burns needing cooling, soothing, and sterile bandaging.

3. Abrasions (Scrapes)

Wounds caused by friction that require cleaning to prevent infection.

4. Surgical Wounds

Post-operative dressing changes and wound checks.

5. Infected Wounds

Red, swollen, or painful wounds requiring medication and monitoring.

6. Pressure Ulcers & Diabetic Wounds

Chronic wounds that need regular professional care.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your wound care visit includes:

  1. Wound Assessment: Your GP evaluates the wound’s size, depth, and risk of infection.
  2. Cleaning & Debridement: Safe removal of bacteria, dirt, or dead tissue if necessary.
  3. Dressing Application: Application of sterile bandages suited to your specific wound type.
  4. Medication (If Needed): You may receive antibiotics or pain management if infection is present.
  5. Follow-Up Care: Guidance on home care and scheduled dressing changes.

Signs a Wound Needs Medical Attention

Seek medical care if you notice:

  • Increasing redness or swelling
  • Pus or foul-smelling discharge
  • Fever or chills
  • Severe pain
  • Slow healing
  • A deep cut that won’t close
  • A wound caused by a dirty object or bite

Prompt care reduces complications.

  • Changing dressings as directed
  • Avoiding picking or scratching
  • Using antibiotic ointment if prescribed
