Daher treten Hauteinrisse, sogenannte Skin Tears, bei älter werdenden Menschen immer häufiger auf. Diese oberflächlichen Verletzungen werden durch mechanische Kräfte verursacht, die auf diese fragilere Haut einwirken. So kommt es zu Einrissen und teilweise bis zur vollständigen Ablederung des betroffenen Bereiches. Die Skin Tears werden daher in folgende Klassifizierungen unterteilt:Typ 1: Kein GewebeverlustTyp 2: Teilweiser GewebeverlustTyp 3: Vollständiger Gewebeverlust Neben einer guten Wundreinigung, wie z.B. mit...2023-12-2019 minWound Care ConversationsWound Care Conversations Is Coming Soon!A brand new podcast from Coloplast Professional, Wound Care Conversations is coming soon.Follow the podcast and get every episode as soon as they're released, straight to your podcast app.On Wound Care Conversations you'll hear from our expert Tissue Viability Nurses, as they bring to life their extensive wound care knowledge and experience.Utilising the Coloplast 3 step approach of Assess, Prepare and Treat, you’ll hear from fellow health care professionals and experts across a variety of roles within healthcare, as we discuss all things wound care from aetiologies to service improvement....2023-12-1901 min

Der Lipidgehalt der Haut verringert sich, das Bindegewebe verliert seine übliche Faserstruktur und seine Fähigkeit, Wasser zu binden. Gleichzeitig nimmt die Aktivität der Schweiß- und Talgdrüsen ab. Dies führt dazu, dass der schützende Hydrolipidfilm nicht mehr ausreichend aufgebaut werden kann. Dadurch wird die Barrierefunktion der Haut beeinträchtigt, was zu Austrocknung, Versteifung und Rauheit der Haut führt.
