Sylvie Hampton & Fiona Collins 
Tissue Viability 

The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive learning package
in tissue viability. It covers all aspects of wound prevention and
management, and considers the microbiological reasons why some
wounds do not heal. It discusses factors that affect healing,
pressure sore prevention and management, audit, ethics and the law.
This is a comprehensive book that will enable not only nurses, but
also doctors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists to
develop a deeper understanding of wound care practice and research
appreciation.
