Abstract
The inception of Physical, Electromagnetic and Biologic devices into the field of wound management has greatly changed the standard approach to wound healing—only think of negative pressure wound therapy. This and other innovations introduced a completely different approach both on diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this multi-specialistic area, in a variety of conditions all characterized by chronic ulceration. The number and variety of medical devices focused on wound management would deserve a thorough evaluation and description, which is beyond the scope of this report, in which a synthesis of the more relevant among the new technologies applied so far in the clinical field, reporting also their level of evidence, addressing the reader to the relevant literature.
