Applications

Chronic and hard-to-heal wounds

If a wound stays open for a long time, is repeatedly damaged or stops changing noticeably, it is important to look beyond its surface.

Blood supply, venous congestion and swelling, continuing pressure, repeated trauma, infection, diabetes, nutrition, mobility and general health can all affect tissue repair.

MOLISAN — SKIN & WOUND CARE SOLUTION

Two tasks in chronic wound care

  1. Care for the wound itself: clean and treat it regularly, monitor change and select an appropriate cover.
  2. Understand the cause: identify what continues to prevent repair, such as impaired circulation, swelling, pressure or another condition.

Role of MOLISAN

MOLISAN — SKIN & WOUND CARE SOLUTION is used for external care of damaged skin and the wound surface.

With chronic wounds, regular care, direct contact of the water-based solution with the wound surface and selection of the ongoing dressing for the individual wound are especially important.

Practical sequence

  1. Wash your hands and prepare clean or sterile materials.
  2. Pour the required amount of MOLISAN into a clean cup.
  3. For a warm wound-care application, warm the solution in a water bath to about 42 °C.
  4. Apply warm MOLISAN for about 15–20 minutes.
  5. Choose the ongoing cover or dressing according to depth, site, amount of exudate and surrounding skin.
  6. Do not store warmed leftover MOLISAN or return it to the bottle.

What to monitor

A deep cavity, necrosis or marked pus

The depth, pockets, non-viable tissue and signs of spreading infection need assessment. Care may change after wound cleansing, removal of non-viable tissue or other necessary treatment. MOLISAN is then part of local care once the wound structure and overall plan are understood.

Signs that require reassessment

Why photographs help but are not enough

A photograph shows the surface and change over time, but not arterial supply, venous pressure, glucose level, some wound pockets or the person’s overall condition. COALESIA therefore combines photographs with the history, duration, pain, swelling and other information.
