Management of Chronic Wounds

Managing chronic wounds involves a tailored approach to promote healing and prevent infection. It includes cleaning the wound regularly, possibly removing dead tissue, and applying dressings that keep the area moist. Underlying health issues like diabetes or poor circulation are also addressed to support healing. Sometimes, additional treatments like antibiotics or advanced therapies are used. Proper nutrition and keeping the wound protected from further injury are important. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals helps ensure progress and adjust care as needed. The goal is to create an environment that encourages natural healing and minimizes complications.
