A chronic wound should prompt a search for the underlying causes. Knowledge of the physiology of the normal wound healing trajectory through the stages of hemostasis, inflammation, granulation, and maturation provides a framework for understanding the advantages of moist interactive wound healing. Good chronic wound care is patient-centered, holistic, interdisciplinary, and evidence-based.
