Work out wound dressing frequency instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Adjusts the dressing's wear time for exudate level and converts it into changes per week and the dressings needed over the planning period.
Change frequency
Interval = dressing wear time x exudate factor (0.5 high, 1.0 moderate, 1.5 low); changes per week = 7 / interval
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
Unnecessary changes cool the wound, disturb granulation tissue and increase cost and infection risk.
Strike-through of exudate, dressing lift, odour, pain or suspected infection.
