The Wound Stick® Measuring System consists of six (6) products to assist a wound care specialist in the treatment of a pressure ulcer. Highlighted below are the two (2) measuring devices.

The Wound Stick® is a disposable measuring device that is used for measuring and documenting a wound. Its unique design enables a wound care specialist to mark the wound's location, size and depth on the Wound Stick®. By using this product, the wound site is accurately measured, photographed, read and documented for the purposes of patient filing or third party billing. The Wound Stick® is available in 10 cm or 20 cm lengths.

The Wound Stick® Tunneler is a flat, flexible and sterile 15 cm measuring device designed to accurately measure the amount of undermining in a pressure ulcer. The flat, smooth design allows for easy insertion into the undermined cavity of a pressure ulcer without leaving any remnants after measuring. The flexible design allows a wound care specialist to feel and see resistance when the Tunneler is pressing against healthy tissue, therefore limiting the amount of trauma to the undermined pressure ulcer. The Wound Stick® Tunneler enables a wound care specialist to measure and probe a wound in one easy step, while providing a tool for the accurate measurement and proper evaluation of a wound.
