Glutamed Repair, a medical nutrition supplement, is designed for hard-to-heal wounds, including diabetic and vascular ulcers, pressure injuries, and burns.

Take a look at our poster below to learn more about Glutamed Repair. You can find Glutamed Repair at your local pharmacy.

📣ATTENTION ALL CAREGIVERS📣

Do you know how to help prevent pressure injuries?

If you care for someone who spends a lot of time in bed or in a chair, you play an important role in protecting their skin. 🩹

Take a look at our poster below to learn more about pressure injuries and discover important prevention tips every caregiver should know.

Regular repositioning, checking the skin, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using appropriate pressure-relieving support can all help reduce the risk.

Ever heard your healthcare provider use the word "periwound"?

Did you know that the periwound is much more than "just the skin around the wound"? It plays an important role in the healing process.🩹

Want to know more?🤔 Check out our poster below to learn why caring for the periwound is just as important as caring for the wound itself.

Living with diabetes? This is a message for you.💙

When was the last time you checked your feet?👣

Diabetes can damage the nerves and affect blood flow to your feet.
This means you may not notice a small cut, blister, or sore, and wounds may take longer to heal. Checking your feet every day can help you spot problems early so they can be treated promptly.

If you have any wounds that aren't healing or any concerns about your feet, contact us today.

Did you know that every wound goes through a series of healing phases? 🩹

Underneath your dressing, your body is working around the clock to stop the bleeding, fight infection, build new tissue, and strengthen the skin. Understanding these stages can help you know what to expect during the healing process.

If your wound is not healing as expected, don't wait. Early assessment and treatment can make all the difference.

🏠Cleaning your wound at home? Here is what you should know.

✔️ Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your wound. If gloves are available, wear them after washing your hands.
✔️ Cleanse the wound and the surrounding skin with saline. Saline can be purchased from a pharmacy or prepared at home.
✔️ Cover the wound with an appropriate dressing to help maintain a moist wound healing environment and protect it from contamination.
✔️ Monitor your wound for signs of infection, including increasing redness, swelling, warmth, increasing pain, pus or cloudy drainage, and an unpleasant odour. If you notice any of these signs, contact us to book a wound assessment.

It's time to debunk some myths.⏰

Wound healing comes with a lot of advice.. but not all of it is accurate.

Ever heard advice like:
"Leave it open to air."
"Let it heal on it's own."
"It's normal, just give it time."

But how much of it is actually true?

Don’t let common myths delay healing. If you’re unsure whether your wound is healing normally, contact us today to book an assessment.
