In the United States, chronic ulcers--including decubitus, vascular, inflammatory, and rheumatologic subtypes--affect >6 million people, with increasing numbers anticipated in our growing elderly and diabetic populations. These wounds cause significant morbidity and mortality and lead to significant medical costs.

In this article, we discuss recent advances in wound care technology and current management guidelines for the treatment of wounds and ulcers.
