Wound bed preparation
Biofilm is very likely present in non-healing chronic human wounds. Awareness of this presence is as important as the knowledge of distinct phenotype differences, especially in terms of the challenge to remove and eradicate biofilm from a wound.[1]
There is consensus that wounds need to be uninfected, well-vascularized, and free of fibrinous material and scarring. The concept of wound bed preparation aims to achieve these targets because only a clean wound can heal.[2]
