Chronic non healing ulcers are quite complicated and proper management involves an understanding of immunology, psychological ,nutitional issues, the pathophysiology and metabolic interface. wound dressing plays one of the important roles. It is therefore vital that the process and problems of wound healing should be increasingly addressed by all surgeons involved in the treatment of deep wound patients and in the identification of development and use of ideal wound repair material. The following study has been deviced to compare the effectiveness of conventional dressing materials like saline, povidone iodine in the treatment of chronic non healing ulcers, with collagen dressings in patients who are admitted in general surgery ward at govt.rajaji hospital,Madurai. Duration of hospital stay is reduced in collagen group patients; there by decreasing economical and social burden of the patients.
