Wound Care Products Formulary 2019This formulary has been developed to assist any healthcare professional prescribing or requesting dressings for wound management in Hertfordshire. It aims to aid the decision making process and help choose the most appropriate product whilst ensuring value for money in the use of NHS resources.
Key messages:• All the products in the formulary have been selected taking into account available supporting clinical
evidence by a panel of trust wide practitioners who have specialist knowledge and expertise in wound care. • Advice in the comments column should be followed when selecting products.• The formulary contains specific sections dedicated for use in podiatry, the leg ulcer service, and health
visiting.• To avoid waste do not prescribe or request excessive quantities or issue for long term repeats. A maximum
of 14 days’ supply should be sufficient.• If wound healing does not progress as expected, advice from the Tissue Viability Service should be sought.• Dressings prescribed on FP10 for individual patients must not be used for any other patient or for car boot
stock• Adherence to the wound products formulary will be monitored and audited. Clinical justification will be
required for requesting ‘off formulary’. Exception forms must be completed and sent to Tissue Viability.• Where there may be a number of different health professionals visiting a patient, efforts should be made
to avoid over ordering by ensuring that there are not multiple orders/prescriptions generated for the samedressings.
• Wound care products must not be added to repeat prescriptions. In exceptional and individual patient casesthis may be necessary and will be agreed with the nurse managing the wound care.
• Prices are subject to change over time and are a guide for comparison of costs of products

Dressing selection guide
Skin Tear PathwayTegaderm Absorbent clear acrylic dressing as per Skin Tear Pathway
Skin CareUse appropriate emolients as per
emollient ladder.
When to Swab?Wound breakdown, healing delayed, increase pain, heat, exudate, odour,
bleeding, swelling or redness of surrounding skin. Swab should be obtained at the beginning of any dressing procedure after wound
cleansing.
Moisture LesionsKeep skin healthy, clean & dry
particularly if exudate is excessive. Apply barrier product as required, i.e. Sudocrem/Cavilon as per the
MASD Pathway.
Wounds on feetNecrotic or Sloughy wounds on
feet or heels NEED to be referred to a specialist team, i.e. Podiatry,
Vascular &/or Tissue Viability.
Secondary DressingWhere secondary dressings are
needed consider under bandages: Zetuvit E, Vliwasorb, Kerramax Care. If an adherent secondary dressing is being used consider
Tegaderm plus pad, Hydrocolloid, Foam adhesive or silicone adhesive
This is a guide and should not replace clinical judgement. For further dressing choices refer to the HCT Dressing Formulary. Seek further guidance from Tissue Viability Service (01707252467). Email referrals to [email protected]

The Triangle of Wound Assessment is a holistic framework that allows practitioners to assess and manage all areas of the wound, including the periwound skin.
To support optimal clinical decision-making all three areas of the wound should be considered.
Patient(age, lifestyle, comorbidities, mobility, etc.)
Wound(3 areas)
Other factors(e.g. socio-economic factors)

It offers a simple framework that supports clinical decision-making and better patient outcomes
Three simple steps of wound assessment
By systematically taking the user through each of the wound areas, the Triangle of Wound Assessment guides the HCP through the different wound management steps.

PODIATRY ONLY Ulcers on the foot have additional factors which can prevent them from healing. Some dressings will behave differently when walked on. Hydrocol-loids and adhesive dressings are not recommended to be used for ulcers on the diabetic foot. Signs of infection are not always typical in a person with diabetes or peripheral vascular disease. Consider referring any diabetic foot ulcers to Podiatry and/or consider contacting Podiatry for advice on wound care for foot ulceration.
