Ulcus cruris, diabetic ulcers and decubital ulcers are among the most frequent causes of chronic wounds (57-80%). The guarantee for successful wound care is based on agood understanding of the physiology of the wound healing process. Adisorder of the phase-like course can lead to complications, delays or suspension of wound healing. There are many reasons for pathological wound healing including infections, oxygen deficiency and non-phase-adapted wound care. In addition to established wound products, innovative products such as dermal matrixes, cold plasma therapy and platelet-rich plasma represent promising therapeutic alternatives for non-healing chronic wounds.
