Article topics: Assessment, Dressing selection

Cavity wounds present unique challenges in both assessment and management due to their complex anatomy and potential for complications such as tunnelling, undermining, and infection. Accurate documentation and thorough evaluation are critical for monitoring wound progression and guiding appropriate interventions. This article explores best practices for assessing and managing cavity wounds. Strategies for managing these wounds are discussed, emphasising the importance of maintaining a moist wound environment, preventing infection, and promoting granulation tissue formation. Multidisciplinary approaches, evidence-based techniques, and patient-centred care are highlighted as essential components in achieving optimal outcomes for patients with cavity wounds.
