Chronic skin tears or lacerations

Chronic skin tears or lacerations are wounds that may look like large cuts or scrapes and fail to heal in an orderly and timely manner.

Circulatory problems

Circulatory problems can arise from problems with the heart, blood vessels or the blood itself. Disorders of the circulatory system generally result in diminished blood and oxygen flows.

Failing or compromised skin or muscle grafts or flaps

Failing or compromised skin or muscle grafts or flaps are caused by movement which dissociates any new blood vessel growth into the graft and depriving it of oxygen and nutrients. This causes fluid to collect between the graft and the graft site bed and further separating the graft from the bed.

Gangrene

Gangrene is dead body tissue due to a lack of blood flow because of an injury, a serious bacterial infection, or a medical condition that affects your circulation.

Post-operative infections

Radiation burns

A radiation burn is damage to the skin and underlying tissue that is caused by radiation therapy, X-rays, or UV radiation. Examples of a radiation burn include sunburns and the more serious radiation dermatitis.

Slow-healing surgical wounds

A slow-healing surgical wound occurs when a surgical wound does not health properly. This is typically caused by infection, which is a complication that is rare, but can be serious. Other causes of slow-healing surgical wounds include a weakened immune system, advanced age, poor nutrition, diabetes, being overweight, and lengthy surgeries.
