Epithelialisation Evidence

 

Epithelial Tissue

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partial-thickness wounds heal mainly by epithelialisation.

Full-thickness wounds heal mainly by contraction, filling with granulation tissue, and epithelial migration from the wound edges.

Epithelial tissue is "pink" in colour.

Treatment Aim

* Promote a moist wound environment
* Manage Exudate
* Protect the wound surface

Description:
1. Prior to swabbing, cleanse the wound with sterile saline to remove all loose debris, remains of therapeutic agents and necrotic tissue.
2. Ensure that complete hemostasis has been achieved before obtaining the specimen. Do not perform sharp wound debridement prior to sample collection.
3. Moisten wound area to be swabbed with a few (up to five) drops of saline. Care should be taken not to flood the wound with excessive saline.
4. Avoid swabbing areas that contain blood, necrotic material, thick slough or fibrinous tissue.

Using a sterile swab provided in the kit, collect the wound fluid sample by pressing the head of the swab flat against the base of the wound and gently rolling it back and forth several times while applying pressure.
