Summary

The Consensus Document published by WUWHS presents Wound Balance as a medical concept developed to address the increasing burden of non-healing wounds worldwide. Wound Balance promotes the early intervention in wound care through biomarker monitoring, patient-centered assessments, and individualized treatment strategies.

While TIMERS and BIOMES frameworks assist clinicians in identifying risks and planning appropriate interventions, the recommended local therapy with SAP dressings support the shift to a normal healing trajectory. The document emphasizes the importance of effective patient communication and holistic care that integrates both clinical and social factors. This new approach aims to optimize outcomes, reduce healthcare burdens, and improve the quality of life for patients with chronic wounds.
