Abstract: The care of patients with chronic wounds represents a significant challenge for nursing. Recently, healing protocols have been developed that employ extracellular matrices (ECM), achieving complete wound regeneration. These protocols require an individualized care plan led by nurses, who work in multidisciplinary teams and provide a holistic view of the patient, thus improving care management processes. The nursing process, which includes research, logical analysis and interpersonal techniques, has been shown to improve the quality of care. In this study, evidence was presented on the successful management of chronic wounds through a comprehensive protocol in a first level hospital in Girón, Colombia. Three patients with venous insufficiency who had received conventional management without success were selected. The assessment was performed using the NANDA domains, with a diagnosis of impaired skin integrity. The protocol included disinfection, application of Regenesis® matrix and appropriate dressings, with daily photographic follow-up.
