Odour, or smell, can be one of the most distressing aspects of living with a wound and can have a real impact on your quality of life, self-esteem and body image. It can feel embarrassing, or cause anxiety, and sometimes limit daily activities, socialising and intimacy. Odour can also be associated with high fluid levels and pain.

This resource has been developed to help patients that have been prescribed CliniSorb, a dressing that helps to reduce odour from your wound.
