Treatment of chronic wounds cost the U.S. healthcare system over $25 billion annually.  Costs are expected to rise due to increasing health care costs, an aging population and rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity.¹  
For example, pressure injuries cause higher treatment costs due to an increase in readmission rates and a longer length of stay.² Give your patients with or at risk of pressure wounds the specialized nutrition they need:³  

• Adequate calories—approximately 30-35 kcal/kg/day 
• Adequate protein—approximately 1.25 to 1.5 g protein/kg/day 
• Vitamins and minerals—supplements should be given when deficiencies are demonstrated or suspected 
• Adequate fluid—1 mL/kcal (adjust as needed) 
• Supplemental L-arginine—stage 3, stage  4 or multiple pressure ulcers
