Rezensionen

"Nurses at any stage of practice could benefit from this
book as it provides good evidence based data when considering
tissue viability and holistic assessment. Specialist nurses -
tissue viability, diabetes, lymphedema could benefit from this book
and is a vital resource to have in any clinical
setting." (Nursing Times, 25 June 2014)

"With its focus on practical information for practicing
physicians, this reference is easier to understand than most wound
healing books. The discussions of bacterial colonization, biofilms,
and wound healing processes gone awry are clear and most
helpful." (Doody's, 20 September 2013)
