How Exudate Progress Monitor works
Leaving wounds undisturbed contributes to optimal conditions for healing. The Exudate Progress Monitor gives you the confidence to leave the dressing in place for longer.
e.g. 4x4 cm
As exudate spreads, you can record a dot count that reflects fluid volume in the dressing.
e.g. 8x10 cm
You can then refer to the recorded dot count to help monitor exudate trends.
e.g. 10x14 cm
The dressing is saturated when the exudate strikethrough has reached 3 edges (time to change).*
* Wound inspection and dressing change frequencies are driven by clinical decision and should be at the discretion of the treating clinician
