How to Use This Calculator
- Measure and enter wound length (cm), width (cm), and depth (cm) using a sterile probe or ruler.
- Enter undermining distance (cm) if tunneling or undermining is present.
- Read wound surface area (cm2) calculated from length and width.
- Track measurements over time — decreasing surface area indicates healing progress.
- Document measurements in the wound care flow sheet and compare to baseline.
