Why Chronic Wounds Don’t Heal ?

Medical Director: John F. Curtis IV, MD – General Surgeon

A wound that does not heal within 30 days is considered chronic. These wounds require medical evaluation to identify and treat underlying barriers to healing.

Common Causes of Non-Healing Wounds

• Poor blood circulation
• Diabetes-related nerve damage
• Repeated pressure or friction
• Infection or biofilm formation
• Inadequate wound management

Why Routine Care Often Fails

Standard dressings alone are rarely sufficient when underlying conditions are not addressed. Chronic wounds need a comprehensive treatment approach.
