These are difficult to treat and require long term care and frequent visits to clinic. Ozone is believed to help with healing and currently only used in clinical settings. This product is wearable which makes the healing process convenient, available to patients on the go.  "Once turned on, the device provides a steady stream of ozone, which kills bacteria present on the wound by oxidizing the bacterial cells and rupturing them" (Hastings, 2020).]]> 2020-09-20 20:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762376408 Teams jumahamida https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762391097 My strengths: Organized, Committed, Flexible, Focused, Team player
    Following are the people I chose and the reasons:
    Amelia -adaptability (Flexibility is important when learning new knowledge)
    Fernando-Focus (helps with prioritizing and following through)
    Faith-Futuristic (Much needed strength with the number of changes that happen in our practice and the amount new knowledge that comes out each day)
    Izzie- Input (Great resource, will add value to the group with new information)
    Louise- Learner (Always wanting to learn is a great trait to success)]]>     2020-09-20 21:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762391097     My opinion jumahamida https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762409728 I have seen 3rd and 4th degree non-healing wounds in my practice which are constantly debrided- not for healing purposes but to keep them clean and free from bacteria. The odor and pain also go hand in hand and unfortunately patients have to live with it! Cost and distance from the hospital are reasons why patients don't seek treatment. Keeping all that in mind, its a great idea to have something portable, cheaper and working constantly on the wound-it could potentially be used at earlier stages and help with healing. However, I would like to see results from clinical trials to figure out the efficacy and any long term consequences there might be.]]> 2020-09-20 21:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762409728 jumahamida https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762422703 https://www.medgadget.com/2020/09/wearable-ozone-therapy-device-for-chronic-wound-treatment.html]]> 2020-09-20 21:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762422703 Reference jumahamida https://padlet.com/jumahamida/2adniejgda57477i/wish/762428703 Hastings, C.
