Wound hygiene is a protocol of care that encourages a proactive and systematic approach to facilitate healing of chronic wounds, through consistent and repetitive cleansing and decontamination (Murphy et al, 2020). Referred to as the management of a wound to optimise healing, wound bed preparation (WBP) is a framework for assessment, diagnosis and treatment of wounds that can be implemented in combination with wound hygiene (Sibbald et al, 2011; Murphy et al, 2021; Shamsian, 2021). It is increasingly acknowledged that a back-to-basics approach is needed, including hand hygiene and decontamination, to protect the wound against persistent inflammation, infection and delayed healing (Wounds UK, 2020). Hydrocyn Aqua® (Bactiguard) is a versatile antimicrobial product range that is available as a solution and gel, and targets a broad range of microorganisms, reduces biofilm and improves wound healing.
