Wound Infection Supplement

Clinical practitioners must be proactive in the prevention of wound infection, but this requires expert and up-to-date knowledge.

The prevention of wound infection should be a primary management objective for all healthcare professionals. Infections of surgical wounds are one of the most common hospital acquired infections; these complicate illness, cause anxiety, increase patient discomfort and can even lead to death. Clinicians must understand the cause and effects of wound infections and be up-to-date with the latest developments in wound infection prevention and treatment.
