:confused: we are contemplating a wound care formulary through convatec...am having trouble getting feedback from any other agencies who have done this...can anyone out there help? specifically looking for this in the homecare setting, but any input would be great...:cool:

Melinda...Northern NY here. We developed a wound formulary with Convatec....hope you have met a lady named Kate. She's wonderful! I think the formulary gives the nurses the ideas to suggest to the docs when wounds are not healing with their old saline wet to dry drg. Safgel and duoderm = healing! Go for it! Patti

Melinda....2 hrs. north of Syracuse...up on the St. Lawrence River...Yes I can see Canada!

We just had our formulary approved to use. What specifics do you need to know? Convatec helped our agency develop the formulary....nurses are to call MD's if no healing seen in 2 weeks..and suggest trying a new treatment. We also are sending out letters to the local MD's to show them what's new in wound care. Out the the old wet to dry in with saf-gel and duoderm. We have had some clients have great results.
