Wound Care

A wound is an injury to the skin that “breaks” the barrier to the environment. Normally the skin heals quickly on its own. Wounds that don’t heal easily are called chronic wounds and they require special care and management to prevent infections.

Chronic wounds can result from:

Surgical wounds with poor union or reopening of wounds
Malignant wounds
Pressure sores (often seen in loved ones who are bed-bound)
Injury from poor circulation (arterial or venous ulcers)
Loss of circulation and feeling due to diabetes (diabetic ulcers)

Ninkatec’s team of clinicians can help with:

Wound assessment and proposal of treatment plan
Wound debridement and management
Recommendation of dressing products
Caregiver training on daily management of patients with wound
Specialised wound treatments for more complex wounds

Stoma Care

The days after stoma surgery can be challenging. Remember that it takes time to adjust to the pouch and it will get easier.

There are three common types of stoma:

Colostomy – where a stoma is created using a portion of your colon (large bowel)
Ileostomy – where a stoma is created using a portion of the ileum (small bowel)
Urostomy – where a stoma is created to bypass the bladder

Generally, a healthy stoma will be pink or red in colour. Signs of infection may include:

Inflamed skin (raw, scaly, bluish purple skin around the stoma)
Coloured or discharge from the stoma
Pain or sore stoma

If the above symptoms surface and persists, contact us for management of your stoma.

Tracheostomy Care

A tracheostomy is a procedure that creates an air passage to help you breathe when your airway is blocked or reduced. There can be a number of reasons why a tracheostomy is needed:

Obstructed airway
- Bypasses the obstruction in the upper airway caused by e.g., a tumor, inflammation, infection, etc. It can also deliver oxygen directly to the lungs.
Prolonged dependence on a ventilator
- Helps your loved ones feel more comfortable while trying to breathe on their own
Health injuries such as:
- Tumors, vocal cord paralysis, laryngeal injuries, Subglottic stenosis (narrowing of the airway)

Caring for your tracheostomy involves keeping your tracheostomy tube clean to prevent infections. Ensure to clean the skin around your tracheostomy stoma at least once a day, or as often as necessary to keep it clean and dry.

Signs of infection:

Skin colour changes: reddish, foul-odour
Mucus changes: mucus may be yellow or green and thicker than usual
Other symptoms: fever and requiring more suctioning than usual

If the above symptoms persist, please reach out to us.
