Chronic Wounds
Chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal within an expected timeframe. They are typically slow to heal, may progress to become life-threatening, and can cause major complications in individuals' daily lives. Chronic wounds typically affect older and immunocompromised individuals, such as those with diabetes or other conditions causing poor circulation and weakened immunity, and require a significant level of specialized care. The treatments and management of chronic wounds vary, but may include the use of advanced wound dressings, topical creams and ointments, surgery, and other interventions. Effective management of chronic wounds can improve quality of life and reduce health care costs, making it a priority for practitioners and their patients.
