Abstract
Chronic wounds remain a substantial cause of morbidity and a health challenge.1 They are de fi ned as wounds failing to proceed through the normal phases of wound healing in an orderly and timely manner or in which the repair process fails to restore anatomic and functional integrity after 3 months. 1,2 Their etiology is diverse, including peripheral arterial disease, diabetic neuropathic ulcers, chronic venous insuf fi - ciency, decubitus ulcers, vasculitis, pyoderma gangreno-sum, infectious diseases
