Wound Type

A diabetic foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes melitus. An ulcer will develop if there is a break in the skin which does not progress to heal, due to the underlying diabetic condition. Diabetic foot ulcers require careful management and we have a range of products which can help to manage these ulcers.

A leg ulcer is a breakdown in tissue on the leg or foot. Leg ulcers are a consequence of poor blood flow through the legs, due to problems with the blood vessels themselves or due to underlying disease which compromises effective blood flow. We have a range of products to help manage these ulcers.

In closed wounds, the skin edges are re-approximated by stitches, staples, tissue adhesives or adhesive strips and left to heal by primary intention.

Stage III: Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle are not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunnelling. Stage IV: Full thickness loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often include undermining and tunnelling.
