What are Chronic Wounds?

Non-healing wounds or chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal in a systematic set of steps and wounds that do not heal in an estimated time or within two or three months are often considered chronic wounds.

Chronic wound patients often describe the pain as a major factor in their lives. Persistent pain is the main problem for patients with chronic ulcers.

Many wounds pose no challenge to the body’s innate ability to heal; however, some wounds may not heal easily because of the severity of the wound or because of the person’s poor state of health.
