This episode explains why precise wound sizing—length, width, depth, surface area, volume, undermining and tunneling—is the most important metric in wound care. Dr. G covers practical measurement techniques, common mistakes, and devices to improve consistency.
Key takeaways: always document depth, use disposable rulers and sterile probes, measure baseline and weekly (pre/post debridement), and escalate care if size doesn’t reduce sufficiently within weeks. Size changes, not vibes, predict healing and limb risk.
