Chronic wounds are often complex, difficult to heal, and may persist for months or years due to underlying disease processes or complications within the healing process.
- Issue:7
Poor perfusion and chronic tissue ischemia are common clinical scenarios particularly among older patients. Inciting pathologies ranging from peripheral vascular disease, venous congestion, and diabetes result in a compromised tissue bed with poor wound healing capacity, greater susceptibility to ulceration, and increased rates of infection. Efforts to better understand this ischemic condition have long employed the use of surgical flaps in the rat.

Chronic limb wounds are associated with tissue ischemia and are typical in patients with diabetes. Such wounds can lead to serious infection, gangrene, and limb loss.
