The use of modern moist wound care products in the treatment of hard-to-heal wounds such as bedsores, oncological wounds, and leg ulcers is a subject of debate. The association of medical device suppliers is concerned that planned changes in the payment system will make access to these modern products more difficult. It is stated that elderly patients, whose wound healing takes longer, will be particularly affected by this situation.
