How do I recognise whether the wound is “clean”?

A clean wound has no cloudy exudate, pus, slough, maceration or biofilm.

Simultaneously, in MPPT wounds, granulation tissue will often be noticeable in the wound bed as red buttons and signs of epithelial tissue (new skin cells) may in many cases be present as white healthy sections of the wound edges and even whitish isles in the wound bed.

Further details:

Exudate Volume / Quantity:
The clean wound on which MPPT can be discontinued will typically present a low level of exudate. However, some wounds, in particular some chronic wounds with high levels of exudate, have a tendency to exude moderately for some days after the wound is clean. It is important to distinguish the former harmful exudate of the chronic wound from the good exudate of the now healing wound.
Lymphatic fluid is beneficial to the wound and should not be removed. It will diminish over time and without the help of Acapsil.

Exudate Appearance:
The harmful exudate is foul-smelling and has a cloudy yellow/orange/brown/green colour. The good exudate comprises mainly lymphatic fluid and has a clear transparent, yellowish appearance.
