Wound types we cover

The SoftCare Wound Care specialty is suitable for any wound that benefits from professional aseptic care, including:

• Surgical wounds — post-operative incisions requiring scheduled dressing changes and infection-risk monitoring.
• Diabetic foot ulcers — early intervention can lower amputation risk; ask your physician about your situation.
• Pressure injuries (pressure ulcers) — repositioning, off-loading, and stage-appropriate dressings.
• Venous leg ulcers — graduated compression therapy and exudate management.
• Burns and traumatic wounds — once initial emergency treatment is complete.

What the Wound Care specialty means on SoftCare

CareGivers who list Wound Care as a specialty are licensed nurses who have cleared SoftCare’s verification — ID, professional licence and a live selfie. They assess and dress wounds at home within their own professional licence and clinical judgement; SoftCare does not deliver care or give medical advice.

Every visit is recorded in the live care sheet — wound measurements, photos and the dressing applied — which you can export for your physician. For which wounds need professional care, the warning signs to watch for and what a visit involves, read Professional Wound Care at Home: When to Call a CareGiver.
