🩹 Managing Wound Tissue Types

Different tissue = different management.

🟡 Slough
Non-viable tissue.
→ Consider appropriate debridement
→ Optimise moisture balance
→ Assess bioburden

🔴 Granulation
Healthy healing tissue.
→ Protect from trauma
→ Maintain balanced moisture
→ Use non-adherent dressings

🔴⬆️ Hypergranulation
Raised, excessive tissue.
→ Review moisture levels
→ Reduce friction/pressure
→ Adjust dressing strategy

⚫ Necrotic / Eschar
Devitalised tissue.
→ Assess perfusion first
→ Determine stable vs unstable
→ Refer when indicated

Accurate assessment + clinical reasoning = better outcomes.

Evidence-informed. Patient-centred.

🩸 Lower Leg Wound? Assess Blood Flow First.

Before compression or advanced wound therapy, always assess vascular status.

Key checks:

✔️ History of claudication or rest pain
✔️ Skin colour, temperature & capillary refill
✔️ Palpate dorsalis pedis & posterior tibial pulses
✔️ Perform ABPI or toe pressures when indicated

⚠️ Compression without proper vascular assessment can cause harm.

At Wound Care Solutions, evidence-based assessment guides every treatment decision.

🟤 IODOSORB™ (Cadexomer Iodine) – When & Why I Use It in Practice

One of the most effective topical antimicrobials we use in wound care for moderate to highly exudative wounds with bioburden is cadexomer iodine (IODOSORB™).

🔬 How it works:

• Absorbs exudate via hydrophilic starch beads
• Slowly releases iodine as fluid is absorbed
• Provides sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
• Helps disrupt biofilm and reduce odour

Unlike traditional iodine preparations, cadexomer iodine delivers controlled release, reducing cytotoxicity while maintaining antimicrobial effect.

⸻

📌 Indications:

✔ Venous leg ulcers
✔ Diabetic foot ulcers
✔ Pressure injuries
✔ Sloughy or infected wounds
✔ Critically colonised wounds with moderate exudate

⸻

🩹 How to use:

1️⃣ Cleanse and debride as indicated
2️⃣ Apply ~3mm layer to wound bed
3️⃣ Cover with appropriate secondary absorbent dressing
4️⃣ Change every 2–3 days or when paste turns grey/white

Reassess at 2 weeks as per antimicrobial stewardship principles.

⸻

🚫 Contraindications:

• Iodine sensitivity
• Active thyroid disease
• Neonates
• Caution in pregnancy, renal impairment, large wounds

⸻

As always, antimicrobial dressings should be used for clear clinical indication, aligned with Wounds Australia standards and antimicrobial stewardship principles.

Compression therapy should be adjusted according to the individual needs of the patient.

However, some general rules of thumb are worth knowing and apply to most patients in need of compression therapy.

In collaboration with our partner organisations, EWMA has developed easily accessible infographics on the usage of compression therapy in the management of venous leg ulcers, including:
