Abstract
Chronic wounds fail to heal in a timely fashion, do not progress through the normal phases of wound healing in an orderly manner, and may remain in a dysregulated inflammatory phase. By creating a moist wound environment, dressings can be used to speed the healing of chronic wounds. The choice of dressing is often determined by wound characteristics (e.g. depth, amount of exudate), availability, cost, and patient preference. The main categories of wound dressings are films, foams, hydrogels, alginates, gelling fibers, hydrocolloids, and superabsorbents.
