Chronic Wound, Factors, ManagmentAbstract
Today, chronic wounds continue to be a problem for patients and in the budget expenditures allocated to health by countries. Although chronic wounds occur due to predisposan factors, they are mainly caused by deterioration in the healing process of the skin. According to the definition that has gained prominence recently, a wound is deemed chronic when its volume has not decreased by 50% in the end of four weeks or its size not decreased 10 - 15% per week.1 With the prolongation of the average life expectancy and the increase in diseases such as diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular diseases, pressure ulcers and chronic complications, the incidence of chronic wounds that impair skin integrity has also increased.
