Wound assessment and dressing at Ishara Medical
Our primary focus

Advanced wound care

Our wound care programme uses evidence-based protocols to promote healing for wounds that have not responded to routine care. Assessment comes first: we stage the wound, identify what is preventing it from closing, and build the plan around that.

What we treat

  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Pressure ulcers (bed sores)
  • Venous stasis ulcers
  • Arterial insufficiency ulcers
  • Post-surgical and traumatic wounds
  • Non-healing surgical incisions

How we treat it

  • Wound assessment and staging
  • Compression therapy management
  • Advanced dressings and therapies
  • Edema control, elevation and exercise guidance
  • Skin care and moisturising
  • Infection control and nutritional support
  • Patient and caregiver education

What treatment aims to achieve: reduced wound size and pain, improved circulation, decreased swelling, prevention of recurrence, and a better quality of life. Outcomes vary from patient to patient.

Before and after treatment

Diagnostics and post-surgical care

Accurate diagnosis guides the treatment plan, and careful follow-up protects the result.

Diagnostic services

Evaluations that identify the underlying cause of a wound or foot condition, rather than treating the surface alone.

  • Vascular assessment (Doppler studies)
  • Neurological evaluation
  • Biomechanical analysis
  • Gait analysis
  • Pressure mapping
  • Laboratory testing
  • Imaging referrals

Diagnostics identify root causes, guide treatment decisions, prevent recurrence and let us monitor healing progress.

Post-surgical wound care

Management after an operation, coordinated with the surgical team that performed the procedure.

  • Post-operative wound assessment
  • Suture and staple removal
  • Infection monitoring and treatment
  • Wound dressing changes
  • Scar management
  • Coordination with your surgeon
  • Patient education on wound care

The goals are a reduced risk of infection, steady healing, minimised scarring and professional medical oversight throughout.
