Hiya Rose. Much depends on the type of wound and stage of wound. We were fortunate to have a few RN with certification in wound therapy. They would change to wound wrap, twice a day and pack the wound. Sometimes, they would do it once a day, depending on Doctor's Orders. Pictures of the wound were sent via the internet daily and smart phones. Lastly when it came time for the wound vac the nurses were trained on the use and care of the equipment. The wound Doctor was responsible for the debreeding of the wound of dead tissue. I hope this helps. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/1/2013 9:13:20 A.M.

Hi, I have a pressure sore that my husband changes the dressing twice daily. The wound ceter says keep it dry and keep off it. Any other ideas? Rose
