...the spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria there needs to be a significant decrease in antibiotic use in wound care.
While the World Health Organisation is addressing AMR with a Global Action Plan, there is a lot of room to contribute to the prevention of AMR in the wound care sector 1 To be truly effective against AMR, action must be taken at every level of wound care, from wound specialists to wound nurses.
The European Wound Management Association recommends avoiding the unnecessary usage of antibiotics through adequate infection prevention/management and appropriate hygiene protocols.2
With the right tools for infection prevention and management in wound care, the unnecessary use of antibiotics may be avoidable. Through its brands, Cutimed® and Leukomed®, Essity offers a comprehensive range of wound care products that effectively prevent and manage infection with no known risk of further contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
