Clean

Clean/Contaminated

Contaminated

Dirty/infected

4

A

Age

Nutrition

Immune status

Circulation

Infections

Stress

Other illnesses

5

Wound Lavage

A

removes debris

reduce bacteria

Use solution w/o antibiotics, soaps, antiseptic

6
Q

wound debridement

A

Surgical removal of necrotic tissue

Removeal of foreign materials

use hypertonic solution (Sugar/honey)

7
Q

Purposes for Bandages

Complications

A

Aid in wound healing

Prevents contamination

Wound debridement

Changes at least weekly with daily care

Complications

Skin/tissue necrosis

Dermatitis

Ineffective treatment

Vascular compromise

8
Q

Layers

A

Primary Layer

  • Direct contact with wound
  • Debridement
  • Deliver medication
  • Seal wounds
  • Transmit exudate to 2nd layer
  • Teflon layer

Occulsive - Films, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogel. Prevents moisture from getting in

Semi-occlusive - Retains moisture on wound surface and allows fluids into 2nd layer

Adherent - Provides debridement. on early stages of wound healing

Dry-Dry

Wet-Dry

Wet-Wet

Nonadherent - absorbs excess fluid from wound

Secondary Layer

  • Aborsbs exudate
  • Support
  • Compression
  • cotton wrap

Tertiary Layer

  • Holds bandages in place
  • Immobilzes
  • Protects from environment
  • Vet Wrap
9
Q

Bandage Types

Modified Robert Jones Vs Robert Jones

A

Modified Robert Jones

  • Most common
  • Forelimb
  • Hindlimb
  • Protect wound
  • Provide support
  • Prevent swelling

50% overlap

Work distal to proximal

middle 2 toes is exposed

Robert Jones

  • Distal limb fractures
  • Immobilizes
  • Supports

Primary layer (Optional)

Roll cotton (Large amount)

Vet wrap

10
Q

Spints

A
  • Plastic or Aluminum or molded (water activated fiberglass)
  • Forelimb or Hindelimb
  • Placed lateral or caudal
  • Stability to fracture

Cast padding

rolled gauze

splint

rolled gauze

vetwrap

11

For fractures below elbow or stifle

Stirrups

Stockinette

Cast padding

Rolled gauze

Cast material

Vetwrap

14
