Wound bed preparation
Biofilm - a major issue in wound healing
The presence of biofilm is reportedly present in 60-100% of non-healing wounds. While the role that biofilm plays in the chronicity of wounds is still not fully investigated, it is becoming widely accepted that hard-to-heal wounds contain biofilm - and somehow its presence delays or prevents healing. Therefore the management of biofilm in chronic wounds is rapidly becoming a primary object of wound care.
Only a clean wound can heal
Correct chronic wound bed preparation is achieved by:
Reducing bacterial bioburden e.g. biofilm in the wound bed,
Removing necrotic tissue and slough, Controling exudate, Managing cellular dysfunctions and biochemical imbalances.
