Clinicians need guidance on their wound care journey as they move between care settings with financial constraints, finite resources and the need to optimize wound care.1 With this in mind, Medline has adopted the DIMES© system of wound bed preparation and treatment options providing a simple guide to assist you in selecting the right product, at the right time, for your patient’s wounds. Figure 1 DIMES serves as an easy framework for planning and implementing an effective treatment plan for chronic wounds while saving money and using valuable resources wisely. We all realize that preparation is the key to care. This is also true in preparing wounds for healing. The Wound Bed Preparation (WBP) Paradigm was created as a practical guide for the treatment of chronic wounds (see Figure 1).1,2,3,4 What do DIMES have to do with chronic wound care? © Sibbald, Woo and Ayello Today’s Wound Care Treatments from Medline 3 The removal of nonviable tissue Addressing bioburden and inflammation within the wound Achieving and maintaining moisture balance in and around the wound Debridement Infection/Inflammation Moisture Balance D I M DIMES an organized and consistent approach toWound Care Evidence Based References 1.

The initial components of local care are1: Edge/Environment Supportive Products, Services and Education Treating stalled wounds where epithelium fails to migrate Appropriate support promotes optimal outcomes E S As always, the patient comes first. Start by addressing patient-centered concerns, then treat the cause of the wound before optimizing local wound care.1 DIM before DIMES4: Is there anything else that can be done to promote faster wound edge migration after local wound care has been optimized? What else is needed to support healing? This might include selecting products for stalled chronic wounds combined with patient education to strengthen partnerships and promote adherence to treatment.1 D I M E S 4 Support Edge /Environment Moisture Balance Infection/ Inflammation Debridement It is important to understand that DIMES is not just an acronym but a roadmap for practice.1 Debridement For wounds with the ability to heal, adequate and repeated debridement is an important first step in removing necrotic tissue. Debridement may also help healing by removing both senescent cells that are no longer capable of normal cellular activities and biofilms that shield the bacterial colonies.1 Infection/Inflammation All chronic wounds contain bacteria.The level of bacterial damage may include contamination (organisms present), colonization (organisms present and may cause surface damage if critically colonized) or infection (deep and surrounding skin damage).There are many antimicrobial products available, and no one product is going to be right for all patients. Clinicians need to match appropriate product characteristics with the clinical features of the wound bed.1 Moisture Balance Achieving moisture balance is a delicate act. Cells and the various cellular signals all need the right amount of moisture to move across the wound bed. Too much moisture can damage the surrounding skin, leading to periwound maceration and skin breakdown. Conversely, too little moisture in the wound environment can impede cellular activities and promote eschar formation, resulting in poor wound healing.1 Edge/Environment If the wound edge is not migrating after appropriate wound bed preparation (debridement, infection/inflammation, moisture balance) and healing is stalled, then advanced therapies should be considered.1 There are other products that complement DIMES but do not fit into one of these immediate categories. Therefore, always consider the “other” supportive products to complete the treatment. Additionally, supportive services (i.e. nutritional therapy) and education are paramount to achieving the best possible outcome.1 Supportive Products, Services and Education Today’s Wound Care Treatments from Medline 5 Connecting the right product to the right application is critical.

Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from the surrounding area. Further description: The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Stage I may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. May indicate “at risk” persons (a heralding sign of risk). Full-thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling. Further description: The depth of a stage III pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and stage III ulcers can be shallow. In contrast, areas of significant adiposity can develop extremely deep stage III pressure ulcers. Bone/tendon is not visible or directly palpable. Full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often include undermining and tunneling. Further description: The depth of a stage IV pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and these ulcers can be shallow. Stage IV ulcers can extend into muscle and/or supporting structures (e.g., fascia, tendon or joint capsule) making osteomyelitis possible. Exposed bone/tendon is visible or directly palpable. Partial-thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister. Further description: Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising.* This stage should not be used to describe skin tears, tape burns, perineal dermatitis, maceration or excoriation. *Bruising indicates suspected deep tissue injury. For more information, visit www.medline.com/woundcare or contact your sales specialist. 49 Classification of Tissue Destruction Support Wounds not caused by pressure such as skin tears, donor sites, vascular ulcers, surgical wounds and burns are described as partial or full-thickness to indicate the depth of tissue destruction. • Partial-Thickness (like Stage II) • Full-Thickness (like Stage III or IV) Ulcers caused by pressure are staged. This is a method of classifying pressure ulcers, describing the degree of tissue damage observed. According to the NPUAP, pressure ulcer is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. A number of contributing or confounding factors are also associated with pressure ulcers; the significance of these factors is yet to be elucidated. NPUAP, 2007 STAGE I STAGE III STAGE IV STAGE II Purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or bloodfilled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Further description: Deep tissue injury may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. Evolution may include a thin blister over a dark wound bed. The wound may further evolve and become covered by thin eschar. Evolution may be rapid exposing additional layers of tissue even with optimal treatment. Full-thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed. Further description: Until enough slough and/or eschar is removed to expose the base of the wound, the true depth, and therefore stage, cannot be determined. Stable (dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) eschar on the heels serves as “the body’s natural (biological) cover” and should not be removed. SUSPECTED Deep Tissue Injury (DTI) UNSTAGEABLE D I M E S S = Supportive Services and Education Photo from NPUAP 2007 50 Support Edge /Environment Moisture Balance Infection/ Inflammation Debridement Many nurses find themselves in situations on a daily basis where valuable time is wasted searching for the right dressing. Often the wrong dressing is used or the dressing is not used properly. By listening to you, we found a way to improve this process and ensure that nurses have the information they need. It is called EP… Educational Packaging. Products available in EP will now have an “EP” at the end of the item number. The package focuses on patient safety and correct product application. Each package serves as a 2-Minute Course on Wound Care™. Many times the outer box is thrown away and the product is distributed to the end user by the inner package. For that reason Medline provides an educational show-and-tell booklet of all the pertinent information needed to provide bedside support to the nurse, the patient, and the family. Education is not just for clinicians so they know and use the latest evidence base in their practice, but it is essential for their patients and their families. Making sure the patients and their family are taught the expected outcomes and the plan to achieve them is vital for successful wound treatment Educational Packaging Medline Advanced Wound Care Products For more information, visit www.medline.com/woundcare or contact your sales specialist. 51 Our Compass Wound Care Prevention and Treatment program contains education at every level from the wound care champion at your facility to the bedside nurse to the patient/resident and their family.

Summary In summary, the concept of wound bed preparation includes the treatment of the whole patient before the hole in the patient (treat the cause and the patient-centered concerns). Local wound bed preparation includes DIM (debridement, infection/inflammation and moisture balance) plus advanced edge effect therapies (for wounds with the ability to heal) and support in the way of “other products,” services and nutrition. Finally, always remember that education is the scaffold for practice.Without it, clinicians cannot advance practice and improve patient wound healing outcomes.
