By the „chronic wound“ term, we imply to the wound that does not heal with standard treatment procedures. On average, it is 8 weeks, depending on different tissue localization. The most common chronic wounds are chronic venous insufficiency, diabetic foot and decubitus ulcer. According to some sources, about 2% of the population develops chronic wounds, and almost 4% of the health budget goes to their care, which is a great challenge in wound healing. Wound assessment and examination are required before starting the treatment. When assessing the wound, the following are considered: wound location, wound type (length, width, depth), bottom, edges, secretion, surrounding skin, signs of infection, pain. In modern clinical practice of wound healing, the principles of humid environment, equal temperature and pH value have been adopted. For this purpose, we use dressings that protect the wound environment from tissue maceration and the wound surface from contamination. According to the Health Care Act, every patient with a chronic wound has the right to home health care. The conditions and manner of exercising the right to home health care are prescribed by the Ordinance on the conditions and manner of exercising the right to health insurance defined as diagnostic-therapeutic procedures in home health care (DTP).
