Chronic wounds are wounds that don’t heal, even after 6-8 weeks. The condition is complicated and challenging, and far more common than most people think. These types of wounds are associated with pain, distress, odor and the psychological burden created when others begin to take notice.
Through cutting-edge innovation, Essity brand BSN Medical provides wound care solutions that empower patients with chronic wounds to continue living life to the fullest.
There are multiple challenges when treating chronic wounds. The fluid balance of the wound environment needs to be restored, as it generally has too much or too little fluid in it. Chronic wounds are also challenging when it comes to managing infection, since bacteria can cultivate in the wound for long periods of time and cause healing resistance.
“The goal in wound healing is to create the right environment in the wound. We work to combine multiple technologies in the same dressings, addressing the many problems of chronic wounds at once,” says Prof. Hemmrich, VP Global Marketing & Innovation, BSN Medical.
