• Protect the area until the wound is healed

• Prevent stitches from catching on clothing. 

What do you mean by wound care?

Wound care involves every stage of wound management. This includes diagnosing wound type, considering factors that affect wound healing, and the proper treatments for wound management. Once the wound is diagnosed and all factors are considered, the treatment facility can determine the best treatment options.
