Full description

INTRODUCTION A complex wound is a skin injury with little or no tendency to heal as long as the cause that produces it is present. Complex wounds that are difficult to heal or develop torpid or refractory to the usual treatments, do not evolve adequately in the expected time (> 6 weeks).

Explain tools with scientific evidence for correct continuity of care.
