Comprehensive Education Essential for Wound Care in post-acute care settings
Empowering the Nurse Superheroes
Our goal is to empower the nurses and physicians to be the wound care superheroes we know they are! At Archangel, we understand that change starts with the clinicians on the front line, doing the physical wound care and evaluation every day. We want to give them the tools and the knowledge to be successful no matter the wound or the environment. As a result, we have created a comprehensive, ten module wound education program that provides education and training in a variety of necessary wound care skills.

Archangel designed this patented and innovative approach to wound evaluation. The aim is to simplify evaluation and charting, while providing a more sophisticated understanding of the early warning signs and symptoms that can stave off more severe complications.
