Proper healing should be supported with:

• A diet designed to help support healing
• Proper overall care for your wounds and sores
• Juven, twice a day

Wound Care and Dressing

Proper care involves careful cleaning and dressing of affected areas. Your caregivers might:

• Use instruments to remove dead, damaged, or infected tissue from the wound area.
• Remove excess fluids from the affected area, protecting against contamination, providing thermal insulation, or maintaining a proper environment for healing.
• Use topical antimicrobial agents or prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection.
• Ensure that the wound continues to get blood supply while the dressing is applied.
