chronic wound management

Chronic wound management involves carefully cleaning the wound, removing dead tissue, and keeping it moist to promote healing. It may include dressings, antibiotics if infection is present, and controlling underlying conditions like diabetes. Sometimes, advanced therapies like negative pressure (vacuum) or skin grafts are used. The goal is to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals ensures proper healing and prevents complications. Proper wound care is essential to restore skin integrity and improve quality of life.
