Wound Care Matters ®
As part of our 2022 Healing Can’t Wait program, we bring awareness to how much “Wound Care Matters®.” Nearly 7 million Americans are living with a chronic or non-healing wound. The longer a chronic wound goes without proper treatment, the greater the risk of infection, hospitalization and possible amputation.
Unfortunately, during the pandemic that has been a significant increase in amputations observed due to the impact on patient treatment schedules – reinforcing, now possibly more than ever, how much “Wound Care Matters” to people living with chronic wounds.
Did you know there are nearly 7 million people in the U.S. who are living with a chronic wound? Diabetes, increased age, obesity and other factors
