简要总结
The aim of this study is to assess and describe the utilization of Mepilex® Border Flex and other foam dressings available in routine clinical practice in the management of patients with chronic wounds, in order to understand the pattern of use and the frequency of dressing changes in wound management. The study will also allow to gain information about the opinion of the HCPs and the patient's experience concerning wound management with foam dressings. This information may help to understand patient's health care optimization in terms of quality and efficiency.
