This is a long-term registry that tracks patients with chronic wounds—like diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, or leg ulcers—as they receive treatment at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or at home. Researchers collect information about what treatments doctors use, how often patients are seen, and what happens to the wounds over time. The goal is to understand how different wound care approaches work in real life.
Chronic wounds affect millions of people and can lead to serious complications like infection or amputation. This registry was created to gather real-world information about which treatments work best, how often patients need care, and what factors help wounds heal—knowledge that can improve care for future patients.

Your participation happens as part of your regular wound care visits. When you see your doctor or nurse, they will document information about your wounds, treatments, and how you're healing using a special electronic health record system. This information is securely shared with the registry. You may be followed for several years, during which your wound healing, treatment changes, and any complications are tracked to help researchers understand what works best.
