How Exudate Progress Monitor works
Leaving wounds undisturbed can help healing. The Exudate Progress Monitor gives you the confidence to leave the dressing in place for longer 3 . Please see the user guide for additional usage and application guidance.
The Exudate Progress Monitor is a grid of equidistant dots.
e.g. 4x4 cm
As exudate spreads you can record a dot count that reflects exudate volume in the dressing.
e.g. 8x10 cm
You can then refer to the recorded dot count to help monitor exudate trends.
e.g. 10 x 14cm
Consider dressing change when exudate is approaching the borders of the dressing.*
* Wound inspection and dressing change frequencies are driven by clinical decision and should be at the discretion of the treating clinician
