Exudate evaluation tools

Exudate evaluation tools are methods used by healthcare professionals to assess wound fluid, called exudate, which leaks from a wound. These tools help determine the amount, type, and consistency of the fluid, providing insights into the wound’s healing progress or infection risk. By analyzing exudate, clinicians can choose appropriate treatments, such as dressings or medications, to promote better healing. Reliable assessment ensures wounds are managed effectively, reducing complications and supporting optimal recovery.
