Abstract
Chronic wounds are complex conditions categorized into pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and arterial ulcers. In managing these wounds, the selection of appropriate wound care products is of critical importance. Commonly used dressings include hydrocolloid, hydrogel, alginate, foam, and silver-containing dressings. Effective wound management requires addressing systemic causes, selecting suitable wound care products, and fostering collaboration within a multidisciplinary team. Looking ahead, nanotechnology and biotechnological innovations promise to revolutionize chronic wound care.
