Skills

• A unique, compact, comprehensive and realistic model to assist healthcare professionals and patients in the identification and staging of wounds and their probable etiologies
• Teaching routine cleansing and dressing techniques
• This model makes it possible to visualize and understand the differences in wounds
• The principles, skills and tools necessary for wound cleansing, classification, staging and assessment can be reviewed, as well as the measurement of wound length, depth, undermining and tunnelling
• Patient education
• Displays the following pressure ulcers:
• An unstageable eschar/slough wound
• Stage I (both darkly and lightly pigmented skin)
• Stage II (as intact blister and open wound)
• Stage III with undermining, tunneling and slough
• Shallow Stage IV over the malleolus with exposed bone and tendon
• Stage IV with exposed bone, tendon, muscle and undermining, tunneling, eschar and slough
• The darkly pigmented skin section shows how different a Stage I, blood blister and suspected deep tissue injury (DTI) may appear depending on the pigmentation
• The DTIs, when felt, have a “spongy/soft” feel, especially helpful in darkly pigmented patients where visualisation of the injury may not be apparent

Features
