In order to explain in general terms what “advanced wound healing” consists of, we have to classify them.

In this way we know that there are two types of wounds, acute and chronic.

Acute or simple wounds are those where the healing process is normal and the tissues are restored, both anatomically and functionally in an orderly manner and that does not take more than 30 days to heal.

Chronic wounds present a complex and abnormal healing process, where each stage of healing is prolonged, preventing the tissues from being fully restored, and in many cases this can bring serious consequences for health, physical integrity and many times putting in risk the life of the person who suffers them.

CAUSES OF PATHOLOGICAL OR INSUFFICIENT HEALING OF CHRONIC WOUNDS

-Pressure ulcers (bedsores)

-Vascular insufficiency

• Venous ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Lymphedema

-Metabolic

• Diabetes (diabetic foot)
• Gout

-Infectious

• Viruses, Bacteria and Parasites

-Inflammatory

• Pyoderma gangrenosum
• Vasculitis

-Hematological

• Polycythemia
• Hypercoagulation

-Malignant tumors

• Kaposi

-Burns

-Radiation

-Freezing

TRADITIONAL WOUND CURE

This is characterized by being carried out in a dry environment, specialized dressings that intervene in the healing process are not used, basically some type of common antiseptic and gauze are used.

ADVANCED WOUND CURE

This type of healing is performed using specialized dressings with active substances that help maintain a moist environment in the wound, in many cases high-tech dressings are necessary to prevent bacterial colonization, a very common situation in patients with vascular ulcers, pressure ulcers. (bedsores) and ulcers in diabetic people (diabetic foot).

Advanced wet cure with specialized dressings favors:

• Cell migration
• Collagen synthesis
• The intercellular connection or communication
• Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

All these events at the cellular level are key factors for healing.

A correct diagnosis and a good treatment plan using advanced wet therapy can allow permanent, aesthetic and functional healing and save both the physical integrity of the patient, avoiding the amputation of any limb if he is treated in time and safeguarding his life. .

THE CLINICAL EFFECTS OF ADVANCED WET CURE

• Reduce pain
• Thermal isolation
• Auto lytic debridement
• Greater speed in healing
• They act as an insulating and protective barrier
• Allows gas exchange
• Adequate blood circulation
• It is easier to remove secretions and necrotic tissue (dead tissue)
• Infection control
