Abstract:
Wounds or wound-related infections affect nearly 15% of older adults, making effective treatment of chronic wounds an important aspect of healthy aging. A recent study, soon to be published in the International Wound Journal, assessed the impact of a specialized nutrition product on the wound healing of patients staying in a rehabilitation hospital for 2 or more weeks. The study tested the specialized nutrition product’s effect on a variety of wounds, including pressure injuries and surgical wounds.
