John is receiving a home visit from the community nurse and a MediUK clinical trainer. Hi John, Sarah from the MediUK clinical team is visiting with me today to suggest some ways we can manage that leg wound of yours that still hasn't healed. That's great, I really want to find a solution. Did you know that 78% of wounds have a biofilm? That is going to stop it from healing regardless of what you cover the wound with. One way of removing it is to use the UCS debridement cloth. Is it something John could easily use himself? Oh yes, you simply open one of the individual sterile packs and you'll find the cloth is pre-moistened and ready to use on the wound. wound. It has a special solution that deep cleans, softens hard skin, adds moisture to the wound bed and surrounding skin, plus soft loop technology to catch loose particles. The top tip is to wrap a section of the cloth around your gloved finger and use a polishing motion in the wound bed and around the wound edge. Once that section is soiled, adjust the cloth to a fresh section and continue as needed. Both sides of the cloth can be used which means just one cloth can cleanse a whole limb. You don't need to wash it off or dry your leg, just let the solution continue to do its work. This helps remove the biofilm and will encourage your wound to heal. That sounds like something I could do. Yes, many patients use this product themselves as part of their self-caring routine for their wound. Although Johns is a static wound, UCS Debridement Cloth can be used on a wide range of wounds. Here are some case studies showing improvements to static, sloughy and in-between toe wounds. For much larger wounds we also have the UCS Debridement Glove. This has all the same benefits as the cloth and is much larger, so you can cover a large area of a wound, peri-wound and surrounding skin. So what do you think, John? That's really good. I can see how I could do that myself. That's great, John. Do you have any questions or anything else I could help you with? UCS is a pre-moistened single-use cloth or glove for effective wound debridement and cleaning of the surrounding leg area. Available on prescription, it is able to support and and improve a patient's self-care and treatment regime.
