Understanding Chronic Wounds
Chronic wounds are wounds that fail to progress through the normal stages of healing in a timely manner, often due to underlying health conditions like diabetes, vascular diseases, or immobility.

- Advanced wound dressings and therapies.
- Infection control and management.
- Pain management strategies.
- Nutritional support and lifestyle counseling.
- Coordination with other healthcare providers for comprehensive care.
