Current assessment tools and educational practices within healthcare systems are often inadequately designed to address the needs of patients with dark skin tones, particularly in wound care.(2,3,4) Here at Leukoplast, we are working to raise awareness of this inequity by supporting clinicians with practical guidance and tools.

Skin tone bias is a critical issue in healthcare. The accuracy of assessment and diagnosis in all skin tones can have an impact on a patient's healing outcome. Yet most healthcare professionals receive training that primarily includes information and illustrative images focused on white skin. [1,2] By being more aware of skin tone bias, healthcare professionals can deliver more inclusive and accurate wound care.

🩹 What factors should a healthcare professional consider when selecting a post-operative dressing? Dressing selection can play an important role in protecting surgical wounds and supporting patient recovery.

Some considerations:

🩸 Wound condition – consider the clinical needs including exudate management and infection prevention
⏳ Expected wear time – where clinically appropriate, dressings with a longer wear time or water-repellent properties may help reduce dressing changes
📏 Location and size – dressings with skin-friendly adhesion for sensitive skin or flexibility for contoured body areas

Minimising the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) is crucial for patient recovery. But how can we ensure this happens effectively? 🤔

Consider these key strategies:[1]

1) Consider if antibiotics are necessary to prevent infection 💊
2) Apply a suitable dressing to minimise the risk of infection 🩹
3) Check wounds for sign of infection (at least 30 days) and report them 🔍
