What Are Non-Healing Wounds?
Non-healing wounds—also known as chronic or hard-to-heal wounds—are those that fail to show significant improvement within the normal healing timeframe. These wounds can last for weeks or months, putting patients at risk for serious complications like infection, sepsis, or amputation.
Common Causes of Chronic Wounds
A variety of factors can interfere with the normal healing process, including:
- Poor blood circulation
- Diabetes or high blood sugar
- Infection (bacterial or fungal)
- Chronic diseases like PAD or autoimmune conditions
- Malnutrition
- Smoking
- Excessive tissue damage from trauma or surgery
Common types include diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, pressure sores, and non-healing surgical wounds.
Optimizing Wound Healing: Tips & Best Practices
To support healing and avoid complications, we recommend the following:
- Clean the wound gently with mild soap and water
- Keep the wound moist using appropriate dressings
- Offload pressure from affected areas using padding or special footwear
- Follow a nutrient-rich diet with protein, vitamin C, and zinc
- Manage chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension
- Quit smoking to improve circulation
- Stay consistent with follow-ups and wound evaluations
Risks of Untreated Chronic Wounds
Without proper care, non-healing wounds may lead to:
- Local or systemic infection
- Tissue and bone damage
- Sepsis
- Amputation
- Chronic pain and disability
- Mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression
