A successful IR: • Ability to Communicate • Existing relationships
Ideal wound dressing No single dressing is suitable for all types of wounds. Often a number of different types of dressings will be used during the healing process of a single wound. Dressings should perform one or more of the following functions: • Maintain a moist environment at the wound/dressing interface • Absorb excess exudate without leakage to the surface of the dressing • Provide thermal insulation and mechanical protection • Provide bacterial protection • Allow gaseous exchange • Leave no foreign particles in wound • Absorb wound odor • Be non-adherent to the wound and easily removed without trauma • Provide some debridement action (remove dead tissue and/or foreign particles) • Be non-toxic, non-allergenic and non-sensitizing (to both patient and medical staff) • Sterile
NuMed Dressings: • Foams • Hydrogel Dressings • Hydrocolloids • Alginates • Composites • Collagen
Foam Dressings - Overview • Especially useful for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate (drainage) production. • The absorptive ability of a foam dressing must match the exudative property of the wound. A dressing labeled "light" or "thin" won't absorb as much exudate as a product labeled "extra" or "plus." • Foam dressings may be used as a primary or secondary dressing.
Hydrocolloid Dressings – Overview • Occlusive, they do not allow water, oxygen, or bacteria into the wound • Provide a moist wound healing environment • They cause the pH of the wound surface to drop; the acidic environment can inhibit bacteria growth. • Hydrocolloids cannot be used if the wound or surrounding skin is infected.
Hydrogel Dressings – Overview • Hydrogels are indicated for management of pressure ulcers, skin tears, surgical wounds, and burns • Because they contain up to 95% water, hydrogels cannot absorb much exudate and should be reserved for dry wounds or wounds with minimal drainage.
Calcium Alginate – Overview • For wounds with moderate to heavy drainage • The alginate forms a gel when it comes in contact with wound fluid • Capable of absorbing up to 20 times its weight in fluid • Can be used in infected and non infected wounds • It should not be used with dry wounds or wounds with minimal drainage; it could dehydrate the wound, delaying healing • With silver provides antimicrobial protection
NuMed Calcium Alginates: • Alginate Dressing • Alginate Rope • Silver Alginate Dressing • Silver Alginate Rope
Composite Dressings – Post Operative • Composite dressings have multiple layers and can be used as primary or secondary dressings • They are appropriate for wounds in most healthcare settings including; emergency care, surgical incisions, intensive care and chronic wounds
Collagen Dressings and Particles - overview • Stimulate new tissue development in the wound bed • Stimulate wound debridement • Primary dressing for infected and non infected wounds • Help create an environment conducive to healing • May be used in combination with topical agents
Terms you will hear: • Wound Treatment Protocol • Wound Treatment Formulary • HCPCS codes
The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) was established in 1978 to provide a standardized coding system for describing the specific items and services provided in the delivery of health care. Such coding is necessary for Medicare, Medicaid, and other health insurance programs to ensure that insurance claims are processed in an orderly and consistent manner.
