Specialized workplaces are taking care of a wide range of patients who come with different types of wounds and with different aetiology of wounds. The basis of wound management is the evaluation of the patient's overall condition, the local assessment of the non-healing wound and the surrounding tissues and last but not least also, the assessment of deeper tissue structures. Based on a comprehensive assessment and evaluation, a suitable material is selected and chosen to initiate local treatment with phase healing (also known as moist wound healing). In most cases, treatment is long-lasting and requires a change in the appropriate material according to the healing process and stage of wound bed, especially with regard to the wound condition (change of the wound bed). The aim of the article is not a detailed medical description of a particular disease or the presentation of a detailed case report, but an example of the material selection process for phase wound healing (moist wound healing) for a specific type of wound (individual products are given by company names with the addition of product categorization according the Czech categorisation system).
