⛔ MYTH: "Changing dressings more often improves healing."
✅REALITY: Unnecessary dressing changes can disrupt healing and damage skin.
Frequent dressing changes can:
• Disturb the wound healing environment
• Increase the risk of infection
• Increase the risk of skin trauma
• Lower the wound temperature delaying healing
• Cause unnecessary discomfort for patients
• Add to workload without improving outcomes
👉Sometimes, doing less - but doing it right - delivers better results.
