Aim: Caesarean section wound management continue to be a challenge issue in<br />

midwives. This study discusses the use of electronic mobile devices (MEDs)- QR cod for<br />

teaching material, and the results of incorporating it into the field of evidence base<br />

wound management in clinical nursing practice.<br />

Method: People commonly use MEDs for everyday activities such as e-mailing, texting,<br />

talking and playing. Peoples’ familiarity with these devices may make it beneficial for<br />

educators to use MEDs to enhance health information teaching and wound care<br />

learning. The purpose of the study is to develop the wound care film, which the<br />

participant can use the cellular phone equipped with webcam and connected on-line to<br />

the homepage via URL by using the QR Code and through the technologies of 3G or<br />

Wi-Fi to increase the visibility of the website. Ten parturient participated in the study.<br />

Result: During the study period, all participants praised highly of the accurate<br />

transmission of the prescription information.<br />

Conclusions: Our study has proven that QR-code prescription can provide wound<br />

management an efficient, accurate and inexpensive device to digitalize the prescription<br />

contents. Consequently, Nurses can offer better quality of caesarean section wound<br />

management to parturient. Our results show possible applications for QR code in wound<br />

care education.<br />

Diagnoses of Elevated Protease Activity and the Efficacy of Collagen/ORC/Silver<br />

Objective:<br />

• To examine the effects of diagnosing EPA(Elevated Protease Activity) wounds and the<br />

role of Collagen/ ORC /Silver products on these Wounds.<br />

• To demonstrate how determining targeted use of Collagen/ORC/Silver product<br />

improves clinical outcome.<br />

Introduction: Elevated MMP activity in chronic wound exudate causes the wounds to be<br />

chronic. Extracellular matrix (ECM) and growth factors are broken down by protease<br />

enzymes and delay and/or stop wound healing. studies show that Collagen/ORC/Silver<br />

are more effective than the control group in reducing protease activity. For this reason,<br />

we have observed the effect of Collagen/ORC/Silver to stop protease activity, to protect<br />

ECM and growth factors.<br />

Study: In this study, we applied Protease activity test in two of three wounds of a patient<br />

with Pressure Ulcer. All three wounds has been tested. And EPA results were positive. In<br />

two of the wounds we have used Collagen/ORC/Silver. The third wound has been<br />

treated with NPWT(Negative Pressure Therapy). We have compared the treatment<br />

duration and cost-effectivity at the end of the treatment.<br />

Result: The wounds treated with Collagen/ ORC/ Silver has been healed 50% earlier<br />

than the wound treated with NPWT. Overall treatment costs had reduced 48%.<br />

Conclusion: We have observed that we can achieve greater results with Collagen/ORC/<br />

Silver products when we diagnose EPA at the beginning of the threatment. Targeting<br />

Collagen/ORC/Silver in EPA wounds was found to increase the efficacy of these<br />

therapies<br />
