Chronic and Non-Healing Wound Care

A wound that isn't progressing after several weeks often needs a fresh look at what's preventing it from closing, not just a new dressing.

Why wounds become chronic

A wound can stall for many reasons: unaddressed infection, poor nutrition, uncontrolled swelling or blood sugar, reduced circulation, ongoing pressure, or an underlying condition that hasn't been identified yet.

How PWS approaches chronic wounds

We reassess the whole picture — wound characteristics, medical history, nutrition, circulation, pressure, and infection risk — and build or adjust a care plan accordingly. Standard wound care remains the foundation; advanced therapies are considered only when appropriate criteria are met and progress has stalled.

What to watch for

Any wound that hasn't shown meaningful improvement after several weeks of appropriate care should be reassessed by a wound care clinician.

Seek emergency care immediately for rapidly spreading infection, fever, confusion, severe pain, black tissue, or any concern for sepsis. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
