The management of chronic wounds.
The burden that chronic wounds create for both the client and healthcare provider is set to increase. For clinicians managing wounds it is essential that slow to heal wounds are identified early and treated promptly. The early removal of necrotic tissue, adequate control of exudate and the reduction of any bioburden are key foundations for any management plan.
