Every nurse has heard of wounds and their treatments. We may not always have to deal with them but we all know that wounds can be bad news. Wounds can be really difficult to treat. Especially if the wound becomes infected. Wound-associated infections are always a concern for doctors and their patients. Even more so now with life-threatening antibiotic resistant infections. Topical ozone has been shown to promote wound healing in infected wounds by providing antibacterial properties but it has not always been feasible due to the size of the devices. This small ozone producing device can be worn over the wound and is portable. It consist of a flexible, disposable and semipermeable dressing connected to a portable and reusable ozone generating unit via a flexible tube.

*accessibility- will this be available in large quantities
* need for individualization (different sizes) for patient may increase the cost
*Ease of use: This device may not be easy enough for a patient to change out themselves requiring the patient to come in to be seen at a clinic or a nurse to visit patient at home to provide care

In my opinion, I believe that this small device could be a game changer for infected wounds. Many patients have co-morbidities that inhibit healing in wounds and make wounds much more difficult to treat. This small device would provide patients a different option for their wound healing needs.

As the lead for the evaluation team I selected five wonderful team members.
1) Carter- His strength is communication. Every team needs good communication and having Carter helps with the teams communication with each other.
2) Fernando- His strength is focus. It is always helpful to have someone that keep the team focused on the right path during team meetings.
3) Faith-Her strength is being a futuristic, having a futuristic team member is helpful because she will always point us to the future and newer things instead of allowing us to stay stuck in the the old and comfortable.
4)Pablo- His strength is positivity, Pablo assist the team in always being positive and helping the team to stay upbeat and positive even when we seem stuck on an issue.
5) Susan- Her strength is significance, She is always able to show us the significance in our work and in our capabilities. She helps the team by encouraging us and by showing us how significant each team member is.
