: The treatment of chronic wounds constitutes a massive financial burden to society and our health-care system. Therefore, efficient wound care is of great importance to all kinds of medical fields. The implementation and modification of negative-pressure wound therapy can be seen as a major improvement in wound healing. Many different NPWT applications evolved trying to address various wound etiologies.: This review aims to give an overview of various NPWT applications, show its effects on wound healing, and discuss future modifications.: NPWT as a delivery device for cold plasma, growth factors, or targeted stem cells to the wound bed and the ability to monitor the inflammatory activity, bacterial load and wound healing factors can be seen as possible future steps to individualized wound care. In addition, it requires high-quality experimental studies to develop the ideal foam in terms of microstructure, pore size, and material properties.

Introduction: Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder caused by systemic depletion of dermatan sulfate. Symptoms characteristic of mcEDS include multiple contractures, fragile skin with subcutaneous bleeding, and hypermobile joints, which suggest difficulty in perioperative management. However, safe surgical techniques and perioperative management of this disorder remain unknown because of its rarity.

Introduction: Bacterial infection, a complex wound microenvironment, and a persistent inflammatory response in acute wounds can result in delayed healing and abnormal scar formation, thereby compromising the normal function and aesthetic appearance of skin tissue. This issue represents one of the most challenging problems in clinical practice. This study aims to develop a hydrogel dressing specifically designed for the treatment of acute wounds, providing immediate and effective protection for the affected areas.
