Wound bed preparation is important because without proper preparation even the most expensive wound-care products and devices cannot produce positive results. The goal is to create a stable, well-vascularized environment that assists in healing chronic wounds. Prior to wound preparation you must assess the patient’s condition wound history, physical wound characteristics, and availability of resources.
Wound bed preparation is the major component of wound care. The major barriers that must be overcome for wound healing are a necrotic burden, bacterial imbalance, and excessive exudate levels. HPFY offers advanced wound care products to overcome the barriers to wound improvement and achieve optimal wound closure. We carry wound care supplies like povidone-iodine, Q tips, cotton balls, adhesive removers, alcohol wipes, wound measurement aids, and a lot more at the best prices.
Cell debris impairs wound healing and therefore nonviable tissue must be removed from the wound bed. It is evident from research and clinical trials that debriding necrotic or fibrous tissue accelerates healing. First aid debridement pads like Debrisoft Pad help in wound debridement with visible results in 3-4 minutes.
The next step to debridement is to assess the wound for superficial or serious infection, persistent inflammation, extensive colonization, and cellulitis. Wound bed preparation is directly affected by bacterial infection. Wound healing is hampered because the extracellular matrix and growth factors degrade at a faster pace than they synthesize, hindering progression toward the proliferative phase and eventually affecting re-epithelialization. Infection control can be undertaken by using effective antiseptic skin treatment products like the Povidone Iodine Prep Solution.
It is important to maintain a moist wound healing environment in order to promote wound healing. Appropriate amount of moisture aids the action of growth factors and cytokines and assists migration of cells like fibroblasts and keratinocytes. But attaining a correct moisture balance is quite challenging. Excess moisture may harm the wound bed and surrounding skin, resulting in maceration and skin breakdown whereas inadequate moisture may hamper cellular activities and increase slough, resulting in poor wound healing. A typical wound preparation plan must include wound management strategies, such as manual drainage, compression devices and garments, absorptive dressings, and negative pressure wound therapy.
Migration of epidermal cells and keratinocytes shows that the wound bed is satisfactorily prepared. Wound contraction is another important sign of adequate wound bed preparation.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy products like Cardinal Health's NPWT Pro Therapy Device is specially designed to promote wound healing. A special dressing is put on the wound and a gentle vacuum pump is attached. Then fluids like wound exudates, body fluids, infectious materials, and irrigation fluids are removed from the wound to help it heal quickly.
Wound Prep Products create a stable, well-vascularized environment that assists in healing chronic wounds.

Wound Preparations for the Management of Chronic Wounds
A chronic wound can prove to be extremely difficult to heal for both the patient and the healthcare professional. These types of wounds can be stubborn and are often impacted by another physical malady such as diabetes or ischemia.
Understanding Wound Inflammation
The wound healing process is generally understood to be a three-step process: inflammation, regeneration (also known as proliferation), and maturation.
Preventing Pressure Ulcers
Pressure ulcers are caused by the sustained pressure exerted by hard surface, such as bed or wheelchair on skin. It reduces the blood flow to nearby skin and tissues, thereby limiting the amount of oxygenated blood and nutrients. This makes
