Chronic Wounds Treatment at Wound Care Hospitals
Chronic wounds are wounds that fail to heal through the normal stages of recovery within a typical timeframe, usually persisting for longer than three months. These wounds often arise from underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, poor circulation, or compromised immune systems. Left untreated, they can lead to severe complications, including infections, tissue death, or even amputation.
