Patient Condition: 41-year-old female patient with an abdominoplasty surgical site infection. Received silver-based antimicrobials in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy. Once the bacterial load was reduced, the clinician decreased the frequency of dressing changes.
In this case, the patient experienced dehiscence and surgical site infection after an abdominoplasty, and was referred to a wound care

January 27, 2020 -ABSTRACT Purpose:
Accurate, rapid tracking and documentation of wound size is an important component of wound care. Size has traditionally been determined using a wound ruler to measure wound length and width. However, this approach frequently overestimates wound area and is difficult to consistently measure when wound shape changes.

January 27, 2020 -ABSTRACT Aim:
Wound surface area reduction is used as a predictor of healability and an indication of the care protocol efficacy. The variability, of up to 40%, in standard length x width estimation of wound surface area is unacceptable on a measurement on which care decisions are being based.

January 27, 2020 -ABSTRACT Aim:
Accurate wound measurement and tracking is an important aspect of wound care. Typically, wound length and width is measured with a ruler; however, percentage reduction of wound area measurements has been demonstrated to be a predictor of chronic wound healing and treatment outcomes. Verification of accuracy and
