An Introduction to Open Wounds

An open wound refers to any cut or opening which goes through the skin, exposing the deeper layers of the skin or tissues beneath.

Homage can help the care and treatment of various wounds, including:

  • Bed or pressure sores
  • Diabetic wounds
  • Surgical incisions
  • Burns

The Importance of Wound Care

Proper wound care can help to promote quicker healing and minimise scarring. Most importantly, it reduces the risk of infection. An infected wound can make someone unwell and severe infections can lead to sepsis, which is life-threatening.

While swelling and redness around a wound when it is healing is natural, but it’s important to watch out for signs of infection:

  • Excessively swollen
  • Hot to the touch
  • Smelly
  • Wetter, particularly if it is exuding pus
  • Exceptionally red, especially if it is spreading

If a wound is causing concerns, have it assessed by a medical professional immediately.

The Basics of Wound Care & Treatment

Choosing the right dressings can create the best environment for healing. It’s also important to stay hydrated and follow a healthy diet to help your body heal itself, especially when fluid loss from wounds can contribute to dehydration and loss of electrolytes and protein.

Minor wounds can be managed at home with simple dressings and medication for pain if necessary. More serious, deep or dirty wounds should be assessed by a professional. Chronic wounds – those that take a long time to heal – may need to be dressed regularly by nurses or trained caregivers. This can be done in hospitals, clinics or at home.

The best course of treatment differs for different types of wound, so it’s always best to consult a medical professional.

Top questions about Wound Care

Service FAQ

What is the fastest way to heal an open wound?

Proper wound care can speed up healing and reduce scarring. There is no one-size-fits-all solution — different wounds require different types of treatment and care.

In general, maintaining a moist, clean environment is best for wound healing. Minor wounds can usually be managed at home with simple dressing and medication for pain (if necessary). More complex wounds may require specialised treatments such as surgical debridement, draining, vacuum (suction) or VAC dressings, or even hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

It is also important to get enough rest and have a healthy, balanced diet.

How do you treat a wound at home?

Minor wounds can usually be treated with home remedies.

You should first wash and disinfect the wound, then use pressure and elevation to reduce the bleeding and swelling. Depending on the size of the wound, it can help to wrap it with a sterile wound dressing.

If the wound is not healing or seems to be getting worse, consult a doctor.

What are the 4 types of wounds?

Most wounds fall into 1 of the 4 broad categories:

  1. Laceration: any ‘cutting’ or ‘slicing’ type of wound
  2. Puncture: wounds caused by a sharp, pointed object (usually has minimal skin loss, but can go very deep)
  3. Abrasion: superficial and shallow wound caused by skidding, grazing or scraping
  4. Avulsion: serious traumatic wound where skin and subcutaneous tissue are town away or apart

Who are the Homage Care Professionals?

All our Care Professionals are Malaysians (and permanent residents) who are passionate and dedicated to delivering quality elderly care to you and your family. They are 100% local and trained caregivers from all walks of life.

What is the minimum duration for a care visit?

The duration of a Homage Care Visit starts from just one hour, depending on the families preferences and the loved one’s needs.

How can Homage help with wound care?

Experienced nurses at Homage can visit your home to help assess and provide the appropriate care and treatment for your wound. Besides changing wound dressing, they can also advise you on what to look out for and share tips on how you can speed up healing.

While minor wounds can usually be managed with home remedies, more serious, deep or dirty wounds should be assessed by a nurse or doctor. Chronic wounds — those that take a long time to heal — may also need to be dressed regularly by nurses or trained caregivers.

Common types of wounds that Homage nurses can help with include bedsores, diabetic wounds and surgical incisions.

What our customers say

Help during the pandemic

The team has been sublime to work with albeit having to temporarily halt engaging them for care services due to the pandemic situation now in Malaysia. All teething issues in the initial phase of engagement were swiftly addressed and satisfactorily so. Special shoutout to Shirley from Homage who has been responding promptly to all my queries and requests (and went far and beyond my expectations with her actions in all counts).

Wong Voon Bing
Highly recommended care when I'm away

My father had a fall recently and sustained a hip fracture. Living overseas and not being able to travel back home to assist with recovery was very worrying. A friend recommended Homage to help with his nursing care. They are prompt in replying to messages. The care provided was excellent and highly professional. We have been very pleased with the service. There are times when we had to change the appointment time and they obliged and looked into our needs.

Anisa Aisha
Positive experience

Our experience has been very positive. So far, we have used their Care Pros perhaps 10 times (for checking in on mum) and she has been nothing short of kind and supportive. The coordinator Bel has also been a great help since day one. I find the price to be reasonable. Love the reporting feature on their app. You could see what has been done during the visit. It’s worth trying out.

Adelaine Yeo
My gratitude and appreciation

My 85-year-old mother, who underwent post-ventral incisional hernia surgery in January 2019 had CPs from Homage, all professionally trained, from leading Malaysian hospitals. The CPs nursed my mother with diligence, and compassion; providing invaluable tips on elderly caregiving to family members. My gratitude and appreciation to Team Homage.

Azwan Shahuddin
Definitely one of the best!

I had positive experiences with Homage so far. They are flexible, affordable, and professional. The coordinator from Homage has been very helpful and accommodating to my request since day one. Caregivers assigned to take care of my grandmother are punctual, professionally trained and attentive. Hope they will continue to serve well.

Kamilah Barvin
Comprehensive physiotherapy program

Homage has helped us a lot in assisting the recovery of our beloved father. They provide us with a comprehensive explanation regarding the physiotherapy program. The therapist they sent is highly qualified, courteous, passionate, and gave outstanding service. And above all, the charges are fair and affordable.

Farizal Anam
Guidance for my domestic helper

Thank you Homage for your assistance after my mom was discharged from the hospital due to dengue fever. Mom regained her confidence to take her first shower after discharge with the help of Homage's caregiver, something my domestic helper will not be able to do. Also to guide my domestic helper to handle her in a more hygienic way. My maid learned the proper method and able to give better care to mom now. Highly recommend it to people who looking for professional care services to manage family members who need help.

Jenny Lim
Hassle-free swab test

Sofia Mustaffa
Overall a good team work

I want to thank Homage for their excellent service especially Ms. Ginger for her brilliant communication and customer service and for making the necessary arrangements. She does a good follow-up before and after the physio, also accurate feed-back. We appreciate Ms. Shu for her excellent physio service which made my mother gain confidence that she can walk again. Ms. Shu is very patient, hard-working, and committed to seeing my mum will be completely restored and healed. Thank you.
