Advanced Wound Management

Due to the nature of the Advanced Wound Management business more work has been carried out in the area of health economics than our other businesses. Advanced wound products are typically more expensive than traditional products, but it is important to focus on the total cost of patient care, rather than on the costs of individual components of care. As a result it is essential to look at the overall wound healing programme from initial diagnosis to wound closure to make a strong case for application of our advanced wound healing range.

In wound care the cost of products typically represent no more than 10-15% of total treatment cost. The dominant cost is the cost of labour. Thus, the practical application of our strategic aim requires that we seek solutions which reduce overall costs by substituting the cost of wound care products for the cost of medical and nursing time. In the new paradigm, the cost of products will come to account for a higher share of the total cost of treating patients.
