Applying the TIME-Based Wound Healing Approach for Cases Needing Skin Graft

Abstract

Chronic wounds are difficult to manage due to prolonged inflammation, persistent infection and biofilm, poor cellular response to healing . Skin grafts are commonly used to close chronic wounds, but successful grafting depends on effective wound bed preparation using the TIME CDST approach. Here are several case examples in which the TIME CDST approach was applied to chronic wounds managed with skin graft closure. Firts case, 23-year-old female, cellulitis with vascular disorder. Second case 50- year-old female, degloving wound with uncontrolled diabetes. Thirth case 60-year-old male, failed scalp reconstruction post-tumor excision. The conclusion of all cases indicates a satisfactory final outcome of the skin graft, as the TIME CDST approach provides a vital and optimal wound bed foundation for the skin grafting process.
