When required and with medical prescription, a home healthcare professional can execute these treatments on an occasional or scheduled basis to maintain safety at every stage.
Certain wounds, including those from surgical procedures, may need home healthcare. Your healthcare provider will then issue you a prescription. A home health professional can visit your residence to care for your wound. They can apply, replace, and oversee dressings, along with removing sutures (stitches, staples, etc.). They ensure appropriate wound healing by adhering to the care protocol set by your healthcare provider.
For treating advanced wounds, your healthcare provider or medical professional may recommend specialized wound dressings (such as greasy, hydrogel, hydrofiber, etc.). These are specifically formulated to safeguard the wound and enhance healing. (1) Beyond dressings, home healthcare professionals can also remove staples and non-absorbable sutures.
