ABSTRACT
Chronic wounds such as leg ulcers are a common problem, particularly for patients suffering from immunodeficiency, old age, side effects of medication, or circulatory problems. One of the main concerns regarding chronic wounds is their long healing time, during which they remain exposed to foreign bodies capable of triggering infection. In turn, infection delays healing even further, with several consequences, particularly the prolonged suffering for the patient and the financial resources required to provide treatment.
