Wound Healing & Care

 There are many people who suffer from inherited bleeding disorders like hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies and inherited platelet disorders. The World Federation of Hemophilia has provided leadership to improve and sustain caring for such people. People with bleeding disorders require special care and treatment.

They would also need

  •    Trained experts who can properly manage and diagnose patients.
  •    People who advocate for sufficient supply of safe treatment products.
  •    Education and empowerment of people who suffer from bleeding disorders so that they can live a healthier, longer and more productive life.

In spite of the massive efforts being made by the WFH, there still remains a lot to be done. Most of the people with bleeding disorders do not get adequate treatment and moral support. This is the reason that the WFH has chosen as its vision ‘Treatment for all’. They are diligently working towards a future where people with bleeding disorders will get the best treatment. This is a worldwide effort and no distinction is made based on ethnicity or citizenship.

The WFH is a non-profit organization and was established in the year 1963. Today it has developed into a global network of patient organizations in 134 countries and is officially recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Special attention towards inherited bleeding disorders is necessary because most of the times they are difficult to diagnose. There are very few trained medical professionals who know how to treat these disorders. The WFH is trying to make a difference by creating more awareness about bleeding disorders and also bringing the attention of the common people. Some people who are suffering from bleeding disorders don’t even realize what is actually wrong with them, and by educating the masses the WFH is making sure that people realize how important it is to the diagnosis and treat patients.

Infection Control in Wound Care

In wound care, infection prevention involves proactive measures to avoid contamination, while infection control refers to the steps taken after an infection has occurred—to contain its spread and reduce complications.

Understanding this distinction is vital, particularly when dealing with diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or chronic ulcers like those from varicose veins. These wounds, once infected, require more than just hygiene and topical care—they demand targeted intervention.

Why Infection Prevention is Critical in Wound Care

In high-risk patients (e.g., diabetics, post-operative individuals, or those with vascular issues), a wound infection can:

  • Impair tissue regeneration can significantly slow down the body’s natural healing process. 
  • Trigger inflammation beyond the wound site
  • Lead to sepsis or systemic failure
  • Delay healing indefinitely without the right approach

Once bacteria attach to the wound surface and multiply, they secrete an Extracurricular Polymeric Substance (EPS) over the wound bed in the form of a patchy layer called BIOFILM. This biofilm is not only resistant to the host’s immune system but also to various basic antimicrobials. This is why even proper hygiene may not suffice creating a need for advanced infection control measures. 

Common Signs of Infection Include:

  • Increased redness or warmth
  • Foul odor or purulent discharge
  • Delayed granulation
  • Pain out of proportion to wound size
  • Systemic symptoms like fever or fatigue

The Role of Antimicrobial Dressing

Not all antimicrobial dressings work the same way. Selection should depend on the type of wound, degree of infection, and underlying comorbidities.

AgentMechanism of ActionIdeal Use Cases
Nano-crystalline silverDisrupts bacterial DNA and cell wallsChronic wounds, surgical sites, burn care
IodineBroad-spectrum bactericidal effectInfected diabetic foot ulcers, contaminated wounds
PHMBDisrupts membrane integrity of microbesSuperficial infected wounds
VelvetKills microbes, hinders replication. Promotes angiogenesis & cell proliferationManagement of partial & full thickness wounds such as DFU, VLU, Necrotising Fasciitis, Burns or even other traumatic or surgical infected wounds

Using the wrong dressing can delay healing or exacerbate infection. Selection must be guided by wound assessment, not just product availability.

Best Practices for Infection Prevention:

  • Sterile Cleansing: Use prescribed solutions like saline, not harsh agents.
  • Hygiene Compliance: Strict hand hygiene and PPE protocols for caregivers.
  • Moisture Balance: Avoid dry wound beds or maceration.

Infection Control (Post-Infection Onset):

  • Debridement if needed to remove necrotic tissue or biofilm
  • Antimicrobial Dressings selected as per exudate level and infection type
  • Systemic antibiotics for deep or spreading infections
  • Regular monitoring to track changes in wound condition

Different Wounds Demand Different Protocols

  • A clean surgical wound may require simple antimicrobial protection.
  • A diabetic foot ulcer with infection may require systemic antibiotics, debridement, and layered dressing strategy.
  • A venous ulcer may need antimicrobial compression therapy.
Avoid a one-size-fits-all approach—treatment must align with wound pathology.

Don’t overlook:

  • Nutritional Support: Protein, Vitamin C, and Zinc for immune function and tissue repair
  • Glycemic Control: Especially crucial in diabetic patients
  • Patient Education: Empower caregivers with infection warning signs and dressing techniques

Wound care is both a science and a strategy. While infection prevention is essential, being prepared for infection control—with the right knowledge, products, and protocols—can make the difference between recovery and chronicity.

Wound Care Myths Debunked

When it comes to wound care, there’s a lot of advice floating around. Some of it is helpful, while other bits are more myth than fact. Let’s clear up some common wound care myths and get to the truth behind them.

Myth 1: Wounds Need Sunlight to Heal

Fact: While sunshine is great for your mood, it’s not beneficial for healing wounds. In fact, direct sunlight can actually cause burns and damage the tissues that are trying to heal. So, to promote proper healing, keep wounds covered and out of direct sunlight.

Myth 2: Wound Itching Means Healing

Fact: A bit of itching around a wound can be a sign that it’s healing, but it’s not always the case. Itching might also indicate an allergic reaction or infection. Monitor any itching along with other symptoms to ensure the healing process is on track.

Myth 3: Hydrogen Peroxide is the Best Cleaner for Wounds

Fact: Using hydrogen peroxide to clean wounds can actually slow down the healing process by damaging healthy cells. Instead, stick to gentle cleansing with mild soap and water to keep things clean without causing additional damage.

Myth 4: Keep Wounds Dry for Faster Healing

Fact: While it’s essential to keep wounds clean, keeping them too dry can actually slow down the healing process. Wounds heal better in a moist environment, so using dressings to maintain the right level of moisture can speed up recovery.

Understanding the Importance of Proper Wound Care

Wound care isn’t just about cleaning and covering a wound; it’s about understanding the underlying processes that help your body repair itself. Following evidence-based practices ensures that wounds heal properly and complications are minimized. Here’s why these practices are crucial:

  • Preventing Infections: Proper wound care minimizes the risk of infection, which can complicate healing and lead to more serious health issues.
  • Promoting Faster Healing: By maintaining a moist environment and protecting the wound, you accelerate the natural healing process.

When to Seek Professional Help

While minor cuts and scrapes can often be treated at home, certain situations warrant professional medical attention:

  • Deep or Large Wounds: Significant injuries that penetrate deep into the skin or are extensive in size require medical assessment.
  • Signs of Infection: Redness, swelling, increased pain, warmth around the wound, or pus are signs of infection that need medical intervention.
  • Delayed Healing: If a wound does not show signs of healing within a reasonable period, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider.

In a nutshell, taking care of wounds isn’t complicated, but it’s important to distinguish fact from fiction. By following evidence-based practices and seeking professional advice when needed, you can ensure your wounds heal properly and without unnecessary complications.
