About this app

Decode the language of wounds with the WOUND COMPASS™ Clinical Support App. Help build confidence with effective support for your wound assessment and treatment decisions.

The WOUND COMPASS™ Clinical Support App (CSA) is a comprehensive support tool for health care professionals that aids wound assessment and decision-making to help reduce practice variation.

All wounds, like all patients, are unique. The WOUND COMPASS™ CSA helps decode the wound step-by-step, providing you a convenient tool to read the signs. This simple and easy-to-use app categorises wounds by:

• Location on the body
• Wound type
• Wound appearance
• The volume of exudate
• Wound depth

Based on this information, WOUND COMPASS™ CSA provides guidance on treatment, products, and when to consult a specialist. The guidance is accompanied by additional educational resources, images, and diagrams to improve confidence when treating wounds. The app can also be customised to your formulary.

WOUND COMPASS™ helps to reduce practice variation, by providing effective, consistent support as well as easy and informative education at the point of care.1

Utilising the WOUND COMPASS CSA can help improve wound care knowledge.*,1 83% of non-wound specialists agreed that using the app made wound assessments easier** and the app was recommended by 100% of wound specialists (n=7).1
