Companies manufacturing wound care products often have educational resource material specific to product use. Many also have educational programs about wound care in general, and pressure ulcer assessment and management specifically.
When selecting educational resources, filter out promotional aspects of the material. Contact your company-specific representatives to determine educational resources that may be appropriate for your specific needs and clinical setting.
