💥 WOUND DEBRIDEMENT💥

The European Wound Management Association defines debridement as:

The act of removing necrotic material, eschar, devitalized tissue, serocrusts, infected tissue, hyperkeratosis slough, pus, hematomas, foreign bodies, debris, bone fragments, or any other type of bioburden from a wound with the objective to promote wound healing.

In some wounds, debridement is required to eliminate moist necrotic tissue, which provides a medium for bacterial growth, initiates an inflammatory response, places a phagocytic demand on the wound and delays wound healing.

The ensuing infection and biofilm formation limit the effectiveness of topical and systemic antibiotics. It is important to note that debridement of a wound that does not have adequate vascular supply is not recommended. Therefore, a thorough assessment of vascular supply to the wounded area is imperative prior to debriding.

Did you know that healthy feet are essential for your child’s growth, development, and active lifestyle?

Children’s feet are constantly changing as they grow. Regularly checking their feet can help identify concerns such as flat feet, in-toeing, heel pain, warts, ingrown toenails, and issues with walking or balance.

Here are a few tips to keep little feet healthy:

✅ Make sure shoes fit properly and provide adequate support.

✅ Encourage daily foot hygiene.

✅ Check feet regularly for redness, blisters, or changes in the skin and nails.

✅ Keep toenails trimmed to an appropriate length.

✅ Don’t ignore complaints of foot or leg pain.

Early intervention can help prevent small problems from becoming bigger issues and keep your child comfortable, active, and confident.

If you have concerns about your child’s foot health, we’re here to help! 👣

Ingrown toenails occur when the side of the nail cuts into the skin next to the nail. Typically this is a painful condition that does not resolve without careful intervention. The skin next to the nail may also become infected or inflamed. Any toe can be affected, but the big toes are most often affected. It is a common problem but should be dealt with quickly to avoid the risk of infection or spreading further into the foot.

Our Chiropodists can help you with your ingrown toenails!

Diabetes & Cracked Heels 👣

Living with Diabetes means paying close attention to your feet. While dry skin and cracked heels may seem minor, cracks in the skin can create an entry point for infection and may become more serious if left untreated.

Signs to watch for:

✔️Dry, rough skin
✔️Thick calluses around the heel
✔️Cracks or fissures in the skin
✔️Redness, pain, or drainage

Regular foot checks, proper moisturizing, and routine chiropody care can help keep your feet healthy and prevent complications.

If you’ve noticed dry, cracked heels, don’t ignore them. Early treatment can make a big difference!

Contact our clinic to book an assessment and keep your feet healthy from heel to toe. 🦶

May is foot health month and your foot health matter’s!

Plantar warts are caused by a virus which may invade the sole of the foot through cuts and breaks in the skin. Walking barefoot can increase your risk of contracting the virus.

Common places warts are contracted from are:

👣 Community Showers and/or pools
👣 Gyms
👣 Your own household (if someone in your home has the virus, they can spread it)

Are you unsure if you have a wart on your foot? Call or email us to book an assessment!
