Services
Professional Wound Care for a Range of Patients
PWC Prinil Wound Care provides wound-care services for patients experiencing a variety of wounds and conditions.
Wound Assessment & Counselling
A thorough wound assessment is an important first step in effective wound management.
We assess the wound and provide patients and caregivers with guidance regarding wound care, management and ongoing monitoring.
Diabetic Wound Management
Diabetes can increase the risk of foot and other wounds and may affect the body’s ability to heal.
Our diabetic wound management service focuses on appropriate wound assessment, management and monitoring, with referrals where further medical or specialist evaluation is required.
Burn Wound Management
Burn injuries require appropriate assessment and wound management.
We provide wound-care support for burns and monitor the wound as it progresses through the healing process.
Surgical Wound Management
Surgical wounds require careful monitoring and appropriate wound care.
We provide professional management of surgical wounds, including ongoing assessment and dressing care as appropriate.
Vascular Assessments & Referrals
Circulation can play an important role in wound healing.
We provide vascular assessment and, where indicated, facilitate appropriate referrals for further investigation and specialist care.
Acute & Chronic Wound Management
Whether a wound has recently occurred or has been present for an extended period, appropriate assessment and management are important.
We provide care for both acute and chronic wounds, with management tailored to the individual patient and wound.
Pressure Injury Wound Management
Pressure injuries can develop when prolonged pressure affects the skin and underlying tissues.
We provide assessment and management of pressure injuries, with an emphasis on appropriate wound care and ongoing monitoring.
Traumatic Wound Management
Cuts, injuries and other traumatic wounds may require professional assessment and ongoing care.
We provide wound management following traumatic injuries and can advise when further medical attention or referral may be required.
Venous & Arterial Wound Management
Venous and arterial wounds can be complex and may require careful assessment of the underlying vascular factors.
Our wound-care service includes management of venous and arterial wounds, together with referrals where further vascular assessment is required.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a specialised wound-care technique that uses controlled negative pressure to assist in the management of selected wounds.
Where appropriate, NPWT can form part of an individualised wound-management plan.
Removal of Stitches & Staples
We provide professional removal of surgical stitches and staples when appropriate and when the wound is ready for removal.
Patients should follow the instructions provided by their treating healthcare professional regarding the appropriate timing of removal.
