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)
