Antalya Wound Care
What is a Wound?
A wound can be simply defined as a break in the integrity of tissue.
There are many factors that can cause wounds: piercing, cutting, or stabbing tools create wounds physically.
Extreme heat (burns, scalds) or extreme cold (frostbite) can cause different types of wounds.
Acid or alkaline substances can create wounds chemically. Prolonged pressure on certain parts of the body, shoe rubbing, crushing, or friction can also cause wounds.
What is the Purpose of Wound Care?
The goal of wound care is to identify the factors preventing wound healing, eliminate these factors as much as possible, and provide an optimal environment for healing.
