At NIOS Clinic, we believe that the best service to the community comes through professional autonomy and regular updating of our knowledge.
Nurses can autonomously plan and provide care and treatments associated with changes to the skin and integumentary system, which refers to the body’s outer covering.
Our team of nurses enables us to offer a variety of treatments for the integumentary system, such as personalized wound care, suture or staple removal, as well as the use of techniques similar to sutures with skin glue and skin closure stitches.
Wound care
At the NIOS clinic, we carry out the assessment, cleaning, disinfection, and covering of wounds, cuts, and injuries with the necessary medical materials, while ensuring follow-up for optimal healing.
Our clinical nurses, trained to provide you with the best care, select the most suitable dressing to promote rapid healing and prevent infections.
We perform simple and complex dressings, including wick dressings, and treat injuries such as cuts. Send us a photo via text message at (514) 533-6467 so that we can prepare to receive you and provide you with the best advice.
