Abstract

Managing chronic wounds presents a big challenge due to the increasing prevalence of this pathology within society. In Europe alone, an estimated 4 million patients suffer with chronic wounds annually. Additionally, the management of chronic wounds imposes significant financial burdens on healthcare systems and often leads to diminished quality of life for patients and their families. Consequently, a multitude of wound dressings have been developed over time with the goal of improving the treatment of chronic ulcers, utilizing Active Wound Phase Adapted Dressings, inspired by Winter's “moist wound healing theory” introduced in 1962.
