We will never tire from repeating the peri-wound mantra: Peri-wound area is as much a part of the wound as the wound itself.
Covering all compromised peri-wound areas with Enluxtra dressing is the first and foremost thing you can do to improve and speed up the healing of your patients’ wounds.
Many of our users report that once they have adjusted the Enluxtra dressing size, they have witnessed a dramatic leap in healing progress.

Once this happens you have a deteriorating wound that got infected and has grown in size.
