Wound care market has witnessed various technological advancements and emerged as a standard solution to treat acute and chronic wounds. Conventional measures of wound care management are being rapidly replaced with advanced wound measure products due to the effectiveness of the latter for managing wounds, which enables faster healing. The treatment in advanced wound care includes intervention therapies and use of products such as antimicrobial dressings, collagen products, foam dressings, hydrocolloids, gauze, hydrogels, film dressings and alginate dressings. Various chronic wound conditions such as arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers and venous ulcers can compromise the body’s restorative capabilities. The unhealed wounds do not only diminish quality of life but also increases the risk of infections and complications. Therefore, wound care is an important part of surgical recovery or disease management and is a growing medical specialty.

For a proper wound care management a major focus is laid on understanding the characteristics of the wound and assessment depends on following factors:

The size and depth of involvement and the extent of undermining required
The appearance of the wound surface, whether it is necrotic or viable
The amount and characteristics of wound exudate
The condition of the periwound tissues depending on whether they are scarred, pigmented, atrophic and cellulitic.
