Wound Remodelling Strategies for Challenging Wound Topographies
Even with optimal debridement, certain wounds resist healing due to unfavorable base elevations or edge configurations. In this insightful article, Igor Melnychuk explores advanced wound remodelling techniques designed to overcome these barriers and promote effective closure.
Key strategies discussed include:
-
Base Contouring: Lowering elevated wound beds to align with the periwound skin, facilitating keratinocyte migration.woundsinternational.com
-
Edge Resection: Trimming vertical or undermined edges at a 45° angle to eliminate impediments to epithelialization.woundsinternational.com+1woundsinternational.com+1
-
Innovative Techniques: Introducing methods like edge trenching, soap scrap, and parallel pocket incisions, inspired by grafting principles, to address complex wound geometries without extensive tissue removal.woundsinternational.com
These approaches are particularly beneficial for wounds exhibiting features such as epiboly, undermining, or raised bases, where traditional healing processes are compromised.
