Wound Assessment Tools

Wound assessment tools are standardized methods used by healthcare professionals to evaluate the condition of a wound. They help in objectively measuring factors like size, depth, appearance, tissue type, and signs of infection. These tools ensure consistent documentation, track healing progress, and guide treatment decisions. Common tools include checklists or scoring systems that provide a clear framework for assessing wound severity and healing status, ultimately supporting effective wound management and improving patient outcomes through precise and thorough evaluation.
