Abstract

Wound bed preparation is neccesary to support the next stage of wound healing which may include secondary healing, primary closure, graft, or flap. This includes medical optimization of comorbidities, nutritional enhancement, and local preparation such as maximizing perfusion, reducing bacterial counts, and removing nonviable tissue. Wound bed preparation can be performed in the clinic setting or preferably in an operating room. There are advantages and limitations to both approaches. Further, there are techniques, devices, and biologics that can assist in accelerating wound bed preparation.
