SIMPLIFIED, ACCELERATED AND COST-EFFECTIVE WOUND CARE

       With hundreds of wound care products and vendors on the market it is not surprising that facilities are looking to standardize the inventory and simplify its management. One medical center has found a way to save resources and improve healing rates as a result of a focused attempt to reduce the number of supply vendors. 

      "Ultimately, standardization of wound care processes and products at NMMC led to a nearly 40 percent improvement in healing rates, a $300,000 annual reduction in supply expenses, enhanced efficiency, and reduced waste." *

       Our suggestion is to take this achievement one step further and minimize expenses by limiting the inventory to one product type - self-adaptive wound dressings. Enluxtra can be an ultimate solution to your facility's need to save on wound care costs while greatly improving healing outcomes.

      One  busy wound care clinic has demonstrated some spectacular results when adopting Enluxtra self-adaptive wound dressing (SAWD) for a study period of only three months.** 

      "Standardization to the first-line usage of SAWD improved the consistency of care for the same wounds and patients. This consistency of care is known to lead to better outcomes and reduce errors in documentation. " 
      "The number of primary dressing supplies was reduced by 70%, with potential for future reduction."

      "The moderate price of SAWDs and their nearly 100% utilization led to reduction of total monthly spending on primary wound dressings upwards of 30% during the standardization study at the clinic compared to baseline spending before the study. This spending reduction is estimated to provide the clinic with more than $40,000 annual savings on primary dressings." 

       It is time to look critically at wound care spending at your facility and ask yourselves: why it should cost so much and yet produce unpredictable outcomes? The solution you have been waiting for is already in place at some leading nation's hospitals and medical centers such as UCSF, SFGH, and many others. Join in the hottest trend in wound care and start experiencing its benefits today.
