  This is a comprehensive textbook covering wound management. It is aimed specifically at nurses, but may also be of interest to other members of the health-care team. The book aims to clarify the areas of confusion surrounding wound care and provides guidelines for consistent wound management. In addition to covering topics such as the physiology of healing and the range of wound management products, the book adopts an holistic approach to the subject and an entire section is devoted to the care of a patient with a wound. Another section covers the general principles of wound management of patients with specific types of wounds and a series of case studies demonstrate the application of theory to practice. The book provides up-to-date, research-based knowledge which is clinically orientated.
