Carlos Garcia Infirmier : Home wound care in Auderghem, Uccle, Ixelles and Watermael-Boitsfort

I take care of patients who have undergone vascular and digestive surgeries, among others. Their care involves tasks such as changing dressings and removing sutures.

Your home nurse provides care for wounds that take several weeks to heal.

I assist you in emptying the bag, changing it, and taking care of the skin.

As an attentive caregiver, I monitor drains and the progress of the scar to ensure that it does not get infected.

I choose the appropriate care method based on the condition of the wound. If necessary, I irrigate it with saline solution, with or without antiseptic.

With strict adherence to hygiene rules, I clean and disinfect the wound. I then apply a new dressing.

The steps of care depend on the severity of the injuries: cleaning, disinfection, application of a dressing, etc.

I provide care for individuals who have undergone hip or knee surgery. I change the Redon drain and replace dressings.

I attend to individuals suffering from pressure ulcers. The care provided depends on the extent of the ulcers.
