Pressure ulcer treatment
We all want to avoid pressure injuries. Considerable progress has been made in this area the past few years. Nevertheless, pressure injuries remain a challenge. B. Braun offers different solutions including products for skin care, wound bed preparation and infection management, as well as exudate management. Taking action right from the start helps you to prevent the aggravation of existing pressure injuries and to support the healing process.
