Free of charge dressings are available through the site and can be used for evaluation or pro-bono cases. By clicking on trial dressings you can select a product to suit your wound challenge. Kindly donated by product providers these dressings are provided free of charge on condition that a case report is uploaded into the library and that consent has been given by the animal owner.
Report software is integrated into the site and dressing ordering process. Uploading your case outcome is simple through your own 'manage my case reports' section.
Cases completed through the library are submitted for publication and only published if the member is happy to do so. It is hoped that sympathetic use of the library will raise the evidence base, give confidence, and a resource to any clinician facing a physiologically or financially challenging wound.
All the products made available through the Veterinary Wound Library are designed for use on wounds and meet stringent medical device standards through the CE marking system. Products designed for Veterinary use do not require a CE mark, however, only those technologies awarded a CE mark for human use can be considered for inclusion in the library to ensure that only reputable products are made available. No experimental products are made available through the library sampling system.
