What we look at
A skin tear or injury may need further attention when skin is fragile or healing is not progressing. Assessment considers how the injury happened, the damaged area and the surrounding skin.
- The injury’s location, depth and skin damage
- Fragile surrounding skin and dressing-related concerns
- Changes in healing, discomfort and drainage
