Physical removal of dead tissue, such as wet-to-dry dressings, scrubbing, or irrigation. Nursing interventions include careful technique to minimize pain and trauma, and appropriate selection of debridement method.

A non-adherent, soft silicone dressing used as a primary or secondary dressing to promote atraumatic dressing changes. Nursing interventions include gentle changes to prevent skin stripping and monitoring for sensitivities.

Combines two or more types of dressing materials to utilize the advantages of each. Nursing interventions include application according to the wound needs and assessing for the combined benefits in wound healing.

The removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue. Nursing interventions include monitoring for bleeding and pain, and providing proper wound care post-debridement.

A soft, sterile, non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of hydrocolloidal fibers. Highly absorbent and turns into a gel upon contact with wound fluid. Nursing interventions include maintaining a moist environment and preventing maceration.

Localized damage to the skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure. Interventions include pressure relief, wound care, and nutritional support.

Tissue damage caused by chemicals like acids or bases. Interventions include removal of the chemical agent, flushing the area with water, and treating the burn.

Dressing used to help remove toxins and odors from wounds. Interventions include monitoring for signs of wound infection and changing the dressing as needed.

A dressing designed not to stick to the wound bed, facilitating pain-free removal. Nursing interventions include frequent changes to assess wound healing and ensuring the dressing provides enough absorption.

An open sore or wound that occurs in individuals with diabetes, usually on the bottom of the foot. Nursing interventions include blood sugar control, wound care, and preventing infection.

A burn caused by electric current passing through the body, potentially causing deep tissue damage. Interventions include cardiac monitoring, pain control, and preventing infection.

A dressing impregnated with an antimicrobial agent such as silver, iodine, or honey to reduce the microbial load. Nursing interventions include proper selection based on wound type and regular monitoring for sensitivity or allergic reaction.

A dressing containing iodine which helps prevent bacterial growth. It is suitable for acute or chronic wounds. Nursing interventions include monitoring thyroid function in long-term use and careful use with thyroid patients.

A type of alginate dressing that is particularly good at absorbing exudate and turning into a gel, which is conducive to healing. Nursing interventions include appropriate dressing change intervals and ensuring complete removal during changes.

A wound caused by superficial damage to the skin, no deeper than the epidermis. Nursing interventions include cleaning the wound, applying a protective dressing, and monitoring for signs of infection.

A type of abrasion caused by the contact of the skin with a hard surface, resulting in the removal of several layers of skin. Nursing interventions include cleaning, analgesia, and protecting the wound with a sterile dressing.

A thin, translucent fabric used for wound dressings, absorbent and commonly used for minor cuts and abrasions. Nursing interventions include regular changes to prevent infection and checking for signs of saturation.

A system that uses suction to promote wound healing by removing excess exudate and promoting blood flow to the area. Nursing interventions include careful application, monitoring the equipment, and ensuring the seal is maintained.

A traditional method where gauze is moistened and applied to the wound, allowing it to dry and adhere before it is removed. Nursing interventions include careful removal to prevent new tissue damage and evaluating it for appropriateness.

A non-invasive debridement technique that uses the body's own enzymes to break down dead tissue. Nursing interventions include selecting an appropriate dressing to maintain a moist environment and regularly monitoring wound progress.

A small entry hole caused by a pointed object, such as a nail. Interventions include cleaning the wound, tetanus prophylaxis, and monitoring for signs of infection.

An open wound on the outer side of the ankle, feet, toes, or heels due to poor arterial blood flow. Interventions include improving circulation, protecting the wound, and regular monitoring for changes.

The application of topical enzymatic agents to speed up the breakdown of necrotic tissue. Nursing interventions include careful application, protection of surrounding healthy skin, and assessment for effectiveness.

A deep cut or tear in skin or flesh. Nursing interventions involve controlling bleeding, cleaning the wound, possibly suturing, and preventing infection.

An injury in which a body structure is forcibly detached. Interventions include controlling bleeding, protecting the wound, and seeking surgical attention.

This uses layers to wick away exudate from the wound into an absorbent secondary dressing. Nursing interventions include ensuring proper layer application and monitoring the wound for healing progress.

A dressing infused with silver, which has antimicrobial properties. Used on infected wounds or those at high risk of infection. Nursing interventions include monitoring the wound for changes and dressing changes according to protocol.

Specialized dressings used to treat burn injuries, can include silver sulfadiazine cream, biological dressings, or hydrogel products. Nursing interventions include pain management, preventing infection, and regular monitoring of healing.

The periodic replacement of the vacuum-assisted closure dressing to continue negative pressure therapy. Nursing interventions include maintaining sterility, ensuring proper seal, and monitoring for adverse reactions.

A wound on the leg or ankle caused by abnormal or damaged veins. Nursing interventions include compression therapy, elevation of the limb, and wound care.

A wound care dressing made from collagen derived from animal sources. It promotes natural healing by attracting new skin cells to the wound site. Nursing interventions include applying a secondary dressing and monitoring for signs of infection.

An approach to wound care that involves keeping the wound environment moist rather than allowing it to dry and scab. Nursing interventions include using the appropriate dressing and monitoring for excess moisture and maceration.

The most efficient method of debridement involving the sharp removal of necrotic tissue. Nursing interventions include post-operative wound care, pain management, and monitoring for signs of infection.
