Timescales of achieving adequate wound progression*

Indication Median days to adequate progression Median % reduction in volume per week Median % reduction in area per week
Chronic 41·0 15·7 13·5
Surgical dehiscence 44·0 12·8 19·9
Surgical incision 40·0 15·2 14·1
Total 41·0 15·1 14·3

The median time to achieve adequate progression is shown for each indication (overall n = 30). The median percentage reduction in wound volume (overall n = 16) and area (total n = 25) per week was calculated taking into account the wounds that did not reach adequate progression and are expressed as median values.
