Group 1: Acute, non-infected wounds (control group
observative, non-interventionell)
As part of the regular medical wound treatment, sterile wound swabs are obtained from the wound bed of open acute and chronic wounds for biomaterial acquisition.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Goal criterion: Acquisition of biological material for biomolecular analysis of chronic wound entities compared to acute wounds for correlation with healing phase and progression. Sampling endpoint is marked by complete wound closure/epithelization making further wound bed swabbing impossible. | — |
