Abstract

Wound dressing and wound management are key words in current wound treatment. An unmanageably high number of products causes more confusion than clarification. Under continuous cost pressure in healthcare services, the choice of adequate wound management for long-term wound treatment, especially concerning chronic wounds, is crucial. This article presents an overview of the available wound dressings.
