The consensus amongst eminent scientists and wound clinicians is that biofilms cause chronic wounds or alternatively, chronic wounds contain biofilm. Wound bed preparation and biofilm based wound management are relatively synonymous terms for creating an environment in chronic wounds which is conducive to healing.
