Surgical Dressing & Wound Care (up to 5 cm)

Nurse care

Surgical Dressing & Wound Care (upto 5 cm) is a specialised nursing service focused on the safe, sterile and clinically appropriate management of small surgical wounds, minor injuries, post-procedure sites and acute skin breaks up to 5 cm in size. A DHA-licensed nurse performs the full procedure at your home, office, hotel, or any preferred location, ensuring professional wound assessment, cleaning, dressing, and monitoring without requiring a clinic visit.
