5.0 out of 5 stars Product information is wonderful, 30 Oct 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nurse's Clinical Guide to Wound Care (Springhouse Nurse's Clinical Guides) (Spiral-bound)

I am a wound care specialist, in the home care setting, this book has been very beneficial . I use this book as a PDR for wound care products. This book is also a wonderful teaching/ educational aide to those not familer w/ wound care products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wound Care, A Clinical Guide, 7 May 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Clinical Guide to Wound Care (Spiral-bound)

This book is an excellent nursing resource for wound care. The opening provides a quick review of wounds and the healing process. It then moves on to proper wound assessment techniques, staging, and measurement. A section is dedicated to describing product types used for the prevention of decubitis ulcers. What I found most helpful in the nursing field was the wound care product descriptions. The book gives a general overview of product types and catagories then procedes to list specific brand name products. Each product is pictured for easier identification. The sizes of each product are listed along with the action, indications, contra-indications, and application/removal methods. This is excellent for product comparison as well as referral. I would suggest this for any nurse interested in wound care. It would also be a great reference book for nursing units that treat various wounds.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Much About Products, 14 Oct 2001

By Jane Riley - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Clinical Guide to Wound Care (Spiral-bound)

The sparse information in WOUND CARE about caring for wounds and preventing them is superb, but the manual is primarily a catalogue of products. The type of material provided in WOUND CARE can be found in the detail sheets packed with wound care products. I found the book a disappointment.

3.0 out of 5 stars a list of wound care products, not a text on doing woundcare, 16 Mar 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Nurse's Clinical Guide to Wound Care (Springhouse Nurse's Clinical Guides) (Spiral-bound)

if you're looking for a comprehensive listing of wound care products (dressings, gels, etc.) then this book is a good resource. my only complaint is that it is misleadingly titled. only a brief, introductory section of the book actually discusses wound care, and it does it in such a short space that it is useless to the beginner (because it lacks detail and specificity) and useless to the experienced clinician (because it lacks in-depth analysis and meaningful references). it certainly does list just about every single wound product you can mention, though. it should have been titled "the wound care product PDR"
