MOLISAN — SKIN & WOUND CARE SOLUTION
Three tasks at the same time
- Relieve pressure: change position regularly and offload the damaged area, especially the heels.
- Care for the wound and surrounding skin: monitor moisture, contamination, exudate, pain and nearby skin.
- Assess the whole person: mobility, nutrition, sensation, incontinence, vascular problems and other conditions affect risk and recovery.
Role of MOLISAN
MOLISAN — SKIN & WOUND CARE SOLUTION is used for local care of damaged skin and an open wound surface. For a suitable open wound it is used as a treatment/application step; the ongoing dressing is selected separately according to depth, site, pain and exudate.
Practical sequence
- Offload the affected area and assess body position.
- Inspect the wound and surrounding skin: colour, depth, exudate, odour, moisture and pain.
- If the wound is suitable for a warm wound-care application, follow CP-04: about 42 °C for about 15–20 minutes.
- Select the ongoing dressing for the wound.
- Continue regular pressure relief; repositioning frequency is individualized.
Why one gauze dressing is not a universal plan
A dry superficial lesion, a deep cavity and a heavily exuding pressure sore need different covers. Selection depends on pain, site, exudate and the required change frequency.
Other factors
- moisture and skin maceration;
- friction and shear during movement;
- poor nutrition or weight loss;
- limited mobility;
- impaired sensation;
- severe general illness.
Do not do automatically
- do not massage persistent redness over a pressure area;
- do not leave the person lying or sitting directly on the damaged area;
- do not use the same ongoing dressing for every pressure sore;
- do not try to remove deep necrotic tissue yourself.
When prompt assessment is needed
- the wound deepens rapidly;
- black or necrotic tissue appears;
- redness, warmth or swelling spreads;
- pain increases or marked pus appears;
- fever or general deterioration develops;
- bone is visible or deep infection is suspected.
If the heel is affected
The heel needs especially careful offloading so that the damaged area is not left as a point of support.
