NasszuNassVerbandwechsel

NasszuNassVerbandwechsel, a German term, translates to "wet-to-wet dressing change." This medical procedure involves changing a wound dressing while the wound bed and the existing dressing are still moist. This technique is often employed for wounds that exude significant amounts of fluid or when the existing dressing has become saturated. The primary goal is to maintain a moist wound healing environment.

The procedure typically involves careful removal of the old dressing, often with saline solution or a specialized wound cleanser to avoid disturbing the granulation tissue. The wound is then gently cleaned and assessed before a new, absorbent dressing is applied. The choice of new dressing is crucial and depends on the wound's exudate level and the presence of any infection. Materials such as hydrofibers, alginates, or highly absorbent foams are commonly used.

NasszuNassVerbandwechsel aims to prevent maceration, which is the softening and breakdown of skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture. By changing the dressing before it becomes overly saturated, healthcare professionals can manage exudate effectively, promote cell proliferation, and reduce the risk of secondary infections. This method is particularly beneficial for chronic wounds that may have difficulty healing due to excessive moisture. It is a technique that requires skill and careful execution to ensure optimal wound healing outcomes.
