The skin is our largest organ that protects our body against external factors and provides thermal insulation. Any damage to our skin is called a wound. The human body is programmed to heal wounds on its own.

In some cases, the healing of wounds may be delayed or interrupted. Wounds that do not heal in 4-6 weeks are called non-healing or chronic wounds. This delay can be caused by many internal (belonging to one's own body) or external factors.

The aim of wound care is to find these reasons that prevent the healing of the wound, to eliminate these causes as much as possible and to provide a suitable environment for the wound to heal.

Laboratory examinations and imaging methods are used to reveal the underlying disease or disorder in wound care. Then, treatments are arranged by the relevant branch physicians and necessary precautions are taken. Wound care is performed by using medical wound care tools and equipment.

Medical wound care devices are products designed according to the type of wound, enabling the transition to the next healing stage from the place where the wound is stuck during the healing process. They are used by the wound care specialist according to the stage of the wound and according to its needs.

Wound care should be given by physicians and allied health personnel who have professional training in wound care. Otherwise, it should be kept in mind that incorrect treatments that may threaten the injured limb and life of the patient may be performed.
