2 Agenda

3 Indications General Gram Weight sponges have different gram weights which effect absorbency, feel and overall look. Folds Sponges have an esthetic appeal as any other product. When the folds are crisp and even the product has a high quality appearance. Sponges vs. Gauze pads simple, sponges are 2 or more per package and Gauze pads are 1 per package. Non-Woven vs. Woven Non-woven are made of a synthetic material and have a soft feel. They are easy to differentiate as the material has a very different appearance that the description illustrates. Non-woven are used more often for covering, absorbing and staying in place for longer periods of time. Woven are used more often for debriding and short term absorbency. Ply If you unfold the sponges you will see multiple squares, counting each one will give you the ply. Sometimes there are half squares on each side, put together they will give you one ply.

4 Indications Orthopedics A bone fracture is a break in a bone. The soft tissue surrounding the break may also be injured. There are several causes of bones fracture such as: Injuries from falls, sports and vehicle crashes; Osteoporosis and Prologue walking or running (stress fractures). Types of Bone fractures: Simple: the bone is broken in one place. Comminuted: the bone is broken in several places. Open: the skin is injured exposing the open bone. Closed: the skin is intact over the broken bone. Un-displaced: the broken bone pieces are aligned. Displaced: the broken bone pieces are not aligned Types of Treatments: Casting: After the broken bones have been manipulated back into their proper positions, a plaster or fiberglass cast is applied to keep the bones from moving while they heal. External fixation: Pins or wires are set into the bone through the skin above and below the fracture. These are connected to a ring or a bar outside the skin that holds the pins in place. After the bones have healed, the pins are removed. Internal fixation: In a surgical procedure, metal rods, wires, or screws are inserted in the bone fragments to keep them together.

5 Indications Dr. Goed Applications Techniques

6 Indications Sprains Sprain is an injury to ligaments that is caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. A muscular tear caused in the same manner is referred to as a strain. The four symptoms common to all ankle sprains are: Pain Swelling Bruising Joint instability When the ankle is severely sprained, there is commonly a feeling of "wobbling" or "looseness Sprains can occur in any joint (wrist, knee, shoulder, etc.) but are most common in the ankle. Sprains are graded according to the severity of the injury: * Grade I: Mild injury, the ligaments are stretched, but no significant tearing has occurred. * Grade II: Moderate injury, the ligaments may be partially torn. * Grade III: Severe wrist sprain, the ligaments are completely torn, and there may be instability of the joint.

7 Indications Bracing 1. Compression reduces swelling and retains heat 2. Range of Motion Control protects damaged ligaments and reduces incidence of ligament elongation (instability) 3. Propioception increases joint awareness (non visual sensory nervous system) in order to prevent injuries from happening

8 Indications Wound Care & Dr. Goed Applications Techniques A wound is the term given to tissue damage caused by mechanical force. This includes wounds caused by stabbing, blunt trauma (punching, kicking, beating etc), strangling, biting, shooting, falling from a height, being hit by a vehicle, and blast trauma from explosives. There are four (4) types of Wounds: Lacerations: Injury where tissue is cut or torn. For treatment, tissue is first cleansed of any blood clots and foreign material and irrigated. Local anesthetic is administered and a traumatic technique of wound closure is employed, where wound margins are realigned with careful regard to prevention of any further crush injury to tissues. Sterile dressings are applied and immobilization is recommended for complex extremity wounds. Abrasions: Injury where a superficial layer of tissue is removed, as seen with 1st degree burns. The wound is cleansed of any foreign material, sometimes employing a scrub brush to prevent traumatic tattooing by dirt and gravel, and should be performed within the first day of injury. Local anesthetic can be used for pain, however treatment of the wound is non-surgical, using moist dressings and a topical antibiotic to protect the wound and aid healing.

9 Indications Wound Care & Dr. Goed Applications Techniques Contusions: Injuries resulting from a forceful blow to the skin and soft tissue, however leaving the outer layer of skin intact. These injuries generally require minimal care as there is no open wound. However, contusions should be evaluated for possible hematoma deep to the surface or other tissue injuries that may indicate more severe morbidity. An expanding hematoma can damage overlying skin and demands evacuation Avulsions: Injuries where a section of tissue is torn off, either partially or in total. In partial avulsions, the tissue is elevated but remains attached to the body. A total avulsion means that the tissue is completely torn from the body with no point of attachment. In the case of a partial avulsion where the torn tissue is still well-vascularized and viable, the tissue is gently cleansed and irrigated and the flap is reattached to its anatomical position with a few sutures. If the torn tissue is non-viable, it is often excised and the wound closed using a skin graft or local flap. In the case of a total avulsion, the tissue is often very thick and demands debulking and defattening methods before it can be regrafted.
