Sep 06, 2012 By Beth Hawkins Bradley RN, MN, CWON Wounds treated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) are not often straightforward. They occur in interesting places, have anything from slough to hardware visible in the bases, and have nooks and crannies that are not visible to the clinicians peering into the wound. A gentle probe is necessary during wound

Jul 29, 2020 A tunnel wound is a secondary wound that occurs alongside a primary wound, and it's usually caused by an infection or pressure. This kind of wound extends into layers of tissue to form a hole or curved tunnel in your skin, so it can be a little unnerving to see!

Jun 15, 2020 Nurses must also document the location and depth of any tunneling or undermining. Wound Bed: It’s important to document tissue type (slough, eschar, epithelial, granulation, etc.), coloring, and level of adherence using percentages. For example, “40% of the wound is covered in non-adherent tan slough while 60% is covered with red ...

Jan 31, 2020 Just like in a Stage 3 wound, a Stage 4 is a “full thickness” wound, meaning the wound bed is within the subcutaneous tissue. Undermining, tunneling, slough and eschar (dead or dying tissue) may be present. The wound bed may reflect the color of the exposed bone, muscle, tendon, or fat.

Slough is a source of nutrients for fibrousbacteria, providing an environment for bacterial proliferation. It is also linked with wound chronicity, resulting in biofilm formation (Percival and Suleman, 2015). Failure to remove slough prolongs the inflammatory phase and impairs healing (Figure 1). Slough forms on the wound surface as a result of

Aug 07, 2020 Assess the surface of the wound. Complete wound assessment should include the history of how the wound was acquired, the anatomic location of the wound and the stage or phase of wound healing. It is crucial to note the length, width and depth of the wound in centimeters, in addition to whether the wound is tunneling or undermining.
