About Wound Care
A chronic or non-healing wound is generally defined as a sore, ulcer or other skin breakdown that that has not responded or significantly improved with conventional treatment over a 30-day period. These wounds are often associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins and immobility, and can lead to serious complications, including amputation.
Chronic wounds are a growing health problem. More than 8 million Americans suffer from chronic wounds – and approximately 1.1 to 1.8 million new cases are diagnosed each year. Diabetes, a condition that affects nearly 26 million people, is one the most common causes of non-healing wounds. In fact, an estimated 15% of all diabetics will develop chronic wounds. However, studies show that specialized wound care treatment can help reduce such complications, optimize healing, reduce hospital stays and avoid amputation.
