The business of these centers profit from the fees charged from the procedures, tests and other related services. The successful wound healing basically involves optimizing the systematic and local conditions of the patients in combination with ultimate wound healing environment.  The Wound care Australia makes use of different healing products and treatment to influence this wound environment to deliver a protected, a pathogen free and moist area for the healing. Today, these centers make use of advanced and latest products and procedures to augment the substrates in the field of wound healing. There are in fact a variety of dressing options available used by the caregivers, doctors and patients to help their wound heal quickly and to prevent their wounds from further complications like infection. The dressings are designed to be in direct contact with the wounds and they are totally different from the bandage which keeps the dressings intact in place. The dressings actually serve variety of purposes depending upon the type of dressings used.

Dressings can also absorb the additional plasma, blood and fluids. It also begins the healing procedure quickly. There are different types of wound dressings available out there today. Hydrocolloid dressing is the most advanced type of wound dressing that comprises hydrophobic colloidal substances like pectin, gelatin and cellulose. This type of dressing comprises very strong and robust film and comes with form adhesive backing. Hydrocolloid wound dressings vary greatly in their absorption capacities. This type of dressing absorbs the exudate gradually by changing into gel-like mass. When the dressing is removed from the wounds there is no residue remain on the wound bed. Since the residue may smell fouls, it is always mistaken as a symptom of infection. This type of dressing is available in variety of pre cut shapes and sizes. This type of dressing is also known to provide exceptional thermal insulation to wounds and resistant to oxygen, water and bacteria. The wounds that are dressed by using this type of dressing are in less risk of having infection.Another type of dressing used by the centers in Australia is Foam dressing. It is a type of sheet or other shapes of formed polymer solutions with open, small cells that are capable of keeping the fluids intact. This type of dressing is sometime impregnated or they are layered with a combination of other materials. The capacity of the absorption greatly depends on the composition and thickness of the dressing. The layer that comes in direct contact with the wounds is non-adhesive, thus making it easier for you to remove after healing.
