The need for treatment of chronic and infected wounds has increased during recent years due to demographic changes and the increasing number of patients with severe comorbidities. An increasingly larger selection of treatment options as well as wound dressings for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds have become available in recent years. Due to the diversity of increasingly specialized bandages and wound dressings, a standardized, phase-adapted treatment of acute, chronic and infected wounds is useful and recommended. The comprehensive treatment of problematic wounds should also include treatment of any comorbidities present as well as the elimination of noxious agents that may compromise wound healing. For these reasons, treatment of complicated wounds should be interdisciplinary and in close cooperation with the nursing staff. This article presents excerpts from our phase-adapted wound treatment concepts of the 'Wound Compendium Boberg', by which we are able to maintain a standardized and high quality treatment for problematic wounds.
