Smart Dressing Selector
Interactive assistant to match wound/ulcer presentations with evidence‑based dressing categories and practical tips. For HCP use
1) Patient & Wound Profile
Tip: Choose predominant etiology. Add notes below for mixed cases.
Examples: autolytic debridement for slough; reduce maceration; protect grafts; fast pain relief for burns.
Quick guidance & examples
Dry + slough → consider hydrogel for autolysis
Heavy exudate → alginate / hydrofiber / super‑absorbent
Infected → antimicrobial (silver/iodine/PHMB/honey) + reassess 48–72h
Fragile periwound → silicone adhesive borders + barrier film
DFU → must off‑load; VLU → must compress (if ABI permits)
Cavity/tunnel → ribbon alginate/hydrofiber; avoid over‑packing
Stable dry heel eschar in ischemia → keep dry, do not debride
