The Triangle of Wound Assessment is a holistic framework that allows practitioners to assess and manage all areas of the wound, including the periwound skin.
It’s a simple and systematic approach that guides the user from complete wound assessment to setting management goals, and selecting the optimal treatment.
What was missing was an intuitive, easy to use wound management framework that considered all three areas of the wound: wound bed, wound edge and periwound skin. Our response is the Triangle of Wound Assessment.
Watch the video to learn more about how the Triangle of Wound Assessment can be implemented into clinical practice, as an assessment tool and as an educational framework .
