Understanding the condition

Chronic wounds — venous ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, arterial wounds, post-surgical wounds with delayed healing — affect a growing number of patients in Marrakech, linked to the ageing population and the prevalence of diabetes. These wounds require daily or several-times-weekly care by a nurse trained in directed-healing techniques: debridement, choosing the right dressing (hydrofibre, alginate, silver dressing, negative-pressure wound therapy), venous compression, offloading the diabetic foot. Our specialised nurses document each dressing change with follow-up photos and share progress with the treating physician or vascular surgeon.

Why home care for Chronic Wound Care

An untreated chronic wound can become deeply infected, leading to amputation in a diabetic patient or to sepsis.

Technical dressings

Choosing and applying the dressing suited to the type and stage of the wound: debridement, granulation, epithelialisation.

Venous compression

Applying compression bandages for venous ulcers, checking tolerance and the pressure gradient.

Offloading the diabetic foot

Footwear advice, offloading the injured area, daily monitoring of sensation.

Photographic follow-up

A dated photo at each dressing change to measure the surface area, depth and granulation tissue, shared with the specialist.

Frequently asked questions

  • From a few weeks to several months depending on the type and size. The nurse optimises healing by choosing the right dressing and monitoring the factors that slow it down (infection, nutrition, blood glucose).

  • Yes, our nurses are trained in debridement with a scalpel, a curette or a sterile water jet to remove necrotic tissue and promote granulation.

  • Yes, we share the photographic follow-up and wound measurements with your vascular surgeon or diabetologist for treatment decisions.
