Yes i know im a nurse, but dont have anythingn to do with dressings and i dont remember much from my training in the community. So can anyone help me, have a heavily exudating c-section wound, was just covered with a dressing pad by midwife, so i called my district nurses who said Inafine would be better, so i got some from the doctor.
Went back to hospital for dressing change and suggested it might need something other than dressing pad and they put a thick mepilex on and a dressing pad over and said that i should leave it as long as possible but can change my own dressings if i need to before monday, anyway there is now strikethrough on mepilex so i need to re-dress it but dont know whether to use the inadine or mepilex?
Any advice would be good, I dont even know who i can call as midwives are obviously not wound specialists and i suppose the district nurses are doing emergency calls only.
