Promoting consistency in care with the Wound Type Specific Pathways

Together with a group of wound care experts, we have developed seven pathways with step-by-step treatment guidance on each wound type:

  • Diabetic foot ulcer
  • Pressure injury
  • Skin tear
  • Venous leg ulcer
  • Surgical wound dehiscence
  • Burns
  • Malignant wounds

These pathways are based on the Wound Care Pathway, which offers a unique and evidence-based approach to managing chronic wounds. The Wound Care Pathway has been created with feedback and input from over 2200 healthcare professionals across more than 60 countries.


By empowering nurses at all levels with easy access to guidance, we strive towards shorter way to wound healing and improve patient’s quality of life. With a holistic and coordinated approach to wound care, you can address variations and implement evidence-based care.
