Wound Surface (cm2) Tissue Damage RYB Infection acc. to NERDS/STONES [23] CRP (0–5 mg/L) Exudation ABI R/L

NERDS—features of superficial infection (lack or poor healing, exudate, exuberant granulation tissue, necrotic tissue). STONES—features of deep infection (wound enlargement, increase in temperature in the wound, exposed tendon, bone, stench, increased exudate, phlegmon, new area of damage) [23].
