1 Tissue Viability Service WOUND MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS FORMULARY West Essex Version: November 2014 (prices based on August 2014 Drug Tariff) Tissue Viability Service: Cathy Malone, Tracy Dale, Veronica Rice, Jody Davey Lead Pharmacist: Louise Crowley Podiatry Service: Linda Walsh Leg Ulcer Service (PAH): Winnie Furlong

2 INTRODUCTION This Wound Formulary is intended to be used by any healthcare professional prescribing or requesting dressings to be prescribed for the management of wounds in primary care in West Essex. It has been produced in collaboration with the SEPT Tissue Viability Service in West Essex, SEPT Community and Inpatient multidisciplinary teams in West Essex, Infection Control, Podiatry Service, PAH Leg Ulcer Service, and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group. The management of Burns and Plastics is outside of the scope of this Formulary and requires specialist advice. Dermatology products are not included in this Formulary. Users are directed to The West Essex Dermatology Formulary, available on the website of West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group. Adherence to the Wound Formulary will be audited and monitored. Deviation from recommended products will require clinical justification. KEY MESSAGES Start the appropriate level of management for the wound type and stage of healing in accordance with the Trust Wound Care Guidelines using the EWMA Wound Bed Preparation acronym TIME. (T = Tissue, I = Inflammation/Infection, M = Moisture, E = Edges) Review the wound at each dressing change documenting the TIME observations on the wound assessment form (WAF) In accordance to the Wound Bed Preparation process the wound classification and size should change over time. Use measuring grids and depth probes at least every four weeks to evidence the progress or non progress of a wound. Do not over prescribe excessive quantities or issue long term repeats. A maximum of 14 days supply should be sufficient. This avoids wastage and prompts the opportunity for formal review of the wound. Antimicrobial dressings should only be used where there are clinical signs and symptoms of infection, and discontinued if there is no improvement after 14 days. They should not be routinely used for management of uncomplicated leg ulcers. The BNF advises against the use of silver dressings for acute wounds as there is some evidence that they may delay wound healing. Dressings prescribed on FP10 for individual patients must not be used for any other patient or for stock. Notes for Use 1. The Formulary has been split into two parts Which Dressing?, intended to guide the clinician to the appropriate type of dressing for the wound, and Which Product?, intended to be used once the type of dressing required has been determined 2. The Formulary also contains specific sections dedicated to dressings for Podiatry and to Leg Ulcers. 3. Where there is a choice, the most cost-effective product which is suitable should be selected. 4. If in doubt as to which product is appropriate, advice should be sought from the Tissue Viability Service or where applicable from Podiatry or the Leg Ulcer service. 2

13 WOUND INFECTION Antimicrobial Dressings (Only for heavily colonized wounds or infected wounds as an adjunct to systemic antibiotic treatment) Antimicrobial products should only be used where an increased risk of infection or clinical signs of critical colonisation/ infection are apparent. Once an infection has resolved, treatment with an antimicrobial product should be stopped There is no robust clinical evidence that dressings containing antimicrobials (e.g. silver, iodine or honey) are more effective than unmedicated dressings for the treatment or prevention of wound infection. However, experience and anecdotal case studies indicate they have a place in the management of infected wounds and may prevent progression to systemic antibiotics. Long term use of antimicrobial dressings must be avoided e.g. stop using silver dressings if there are no improvements after 2 weeks and replace with a nonsilver dressing Indiscriminate use of topical antimicrobial dressings should also be discouraged because of concerns over bacterial resistance and toxicity. They should only be used where critical colonisation, an increased risk of clinical infection or clinical signs of infection are apparent Antimicrobial dressings should not be used as routine for non-infected acute wounds, diabetic foot ulcers or uncomplicated leg ulcers Evidence for use in infected burns is weak Review each product use after two weeks IODINE IMPREGNATED DRESSINGS Iodoflex Paste Iodosorb Ointment Cadexomer Iodine Cadexomer Iodine Smith & Nephew Smith & Nephew 5g 10g g 4.49 As above First-line for use on infected wounds where an antimicrobial is required, unless contraindicated For use on infected wounds where an antimicrobial is required in conjunction with debridement and exudate management Single use Do not use in renal impairment, thyroid disorders, children, pregnancy & lactating women Inadine Povidone Iodine Acelity 5cm x 5cm 9.5cm x 9.5cm For use on superficial wounds where there is a likelihood of infection WOUND MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS FORMULARY 13
