If a wound has not improved significantly in four weeks, or if it has not healed completely in eight weeks, it is considered a chronic, non-healing wound.
Advanced wound care employs cutting-edge treatments and products, such as bioengineered tissues, growth factor therapies, and specialized dressings, that are not typically used in traditional wound care. This approach targets the underlying causes of non-healing wounds, offering more effective and efficient healing processes.
Chronic wounds can result from a variety of factors including diabetes, aging, prolonged immobility, and circulatory issues. In the U.S., estimates suggest that 1 to 2% of the population will experience a chronic wound in their lifetime, with conditions such as pressure ulcers and circulatory problems being significant contributors.
Advanced wound care offers several benefits, including accelerated healing times, reduced risk of infection, and decreased likelihood of hospital readmissions. By utilizing the latest in wound care technology and techniques, patients experience improved outcomes, less discomfort, and a quicker return to their normal lives.
Advanced wound care can be tailored to treat a wide range of wound types, including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, partial-thickness burns, post-surgical wounds, and more. A thorough evaluation by a Wound Specialist is essential to determine the most appropriate care plan for each individual case.
Approximately 6.5 million patients in the U.S. suffer from chronic wounds, highlighting a significant need for specialized wound care.
