Formula
Rectangular area = L x W | Elliptical area = pi x (L/2) x (W/2) | Volume = L x W x D | Percent reduction = ((Initial - Current) / Initial) x 100 | Weekly rate = Total reduction / Weeks
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you measure wound size?
Measure length as the longest dimension in a head-to-toe orientation, width perpendicular to length, and depth at the deepest point using a sterile probe. Document undermining and tunneling separately with clock positions.
What is a normal wound healing rate?
A wound that decreases in area by 20-40% within 2 weeks is generally expected to heal. Acute wounds typically close within 2-4 weeks. Chronic wounds (> 4-6 weeks) require specialized assessment.
Why is wound measurement important?
Consistent wound measurement is essential for tracking healing progress, determining treatment effectiveness, justifying treatment changes, clinical documentation, and insurance/reimbursement requirements.
