[Examples of practice: clinical trials for medical devices and their application: wound care].

Abstract

According to definition, chronic wounds do not show any tendency for healing over months. From the socio-economic perspective they are of great importance due to their frequency, patient burden and costs for the health system. In wound care, medical devices play a crucial, even more important role than drugs as nearly every wound needs at least a dressing.
