I work as a RN and clinic manager at an advanced wound care clinic and this is the book the docs told me to get when I first started. It covers everything you may need to know from how to identify the origin of the ulcer, best treatment and studies needed, products available and their uses and recommendations. If you pay attention, you will be an expert with wound care. After reading, it is an excellent referece to use to look up specific dressing recommendations for specific wounds. I highly recommend it.

Would buy again by Coral Beauty

Book came in great shape, but took a long time for it to be delivered. After approximately three months of repeated e-mails saying that the book would be delayed, it finally got here. Thankfully, I didn't need it right away or else I would have been in trouble.

Nice reference by Donna Mcclure (Corpus Christi, TX United States)

This update is a nice reference for product selection or formulary development, but as always it is out of date the day it hits the bookshelves. It is still worth having and is well written and easy to navigate. My only gripe is the wire binding is awful!
