Wound Bed Scanning - ORIENTATION

Modified on Tue, 9 Jul, 2024 at 9:01 AM

Things to note of when taking a wound image.


Orientation 


 

12:00 to 6:00 = Length 


3:00 to 9:00 = Width



The wound need not be within the clock face. Clock face guide simply help ensures that the direction and position of the wound is consistent, throughout all wound assessments. 


An example here shows that all assessments for the same wound have the same orientation.
