Q: What is a wound?

A wound is an injury involving a break in the skin. Wounds that do not heal in a timely fashion (generally 6 to 8 weeks) are chronic wounds. Chronic wounds generally but not always cause pain, discomfort and/or limited mobility. Chronic wounds may result in decreased mobility and other social and economic consequences.  Chronic wounds generally result from other serious health problems such as diabetes heart disease and circulation disorders. Other contributing factors include poor nutrition and abnormal sustained pressure commonly over bony areas. But a wound could form anywhere.
