Chronic wounds are an ever-growing challenge for clinicians and represent a huge burden on healthcare resources (Harding, 2002). They have been referred to as a silent epidemic that is affecting a large number of people in the world population (Gottrup, 2004). However, due to a better understanding of what makes a wound chronic, several new …

Wound infections, including biofilms play a significant role in delaying wound healing and are considered to be one of the major challenges in wound management. The presence of non-viable tissue, such as slough, is a prominent feature of chronic wounds and is considered as a barrier against successful wound healing. A key component in wound …

Burn injuries are a mostly avoidable trauma that affect millions of people worldwide every year.

Various agents have been applied topically to treat infected wounds. A well-recognised option is …

Burn wounds are predisposed to infection and topical antimicrobial preparations are used both to prevent and treat infection. The choice of topical antimicrobial should be based on the ability of the agent to inhibit microorganisms that may be harmful within the wound bed and on the host. Silver is indicated when a local negative impact …

Silver has been used in wound care throughout the millennia for its antimicrobial properties. It was used by many cultures, predominantly in times of war, as an antimicrobial reservoir for food and water, from the ancient Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, up to the Second World War (Alexander, 2009). The first mention of silver as …

Treating of postoperative complications in patients after numerous laparotomies is difficult.

Eight databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid-Medline, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were systematically reviewed from inception to May …

Wound management has evolved from considering wound dressings as a means to provide protection to a medium that enhances wound healing and also takes into consideration patient aspects such as atraumatic removal. Technology-lipido colloid (TLC) is described as a healing matrix as it stimulates fibroblasts, which is achieved through maintaining a moist wound environment. It …

To improve healing of pressure ulcer wounds, it is important to optimize the conditions of the area surrounding the wound.
