Resources
The Institute has been instrumental in producing a number of internationally acknowledged documents such as the review and extension of the TIME framework as well as publications in the International Wound Journal, Journal of Wound Care, Wounds International and other relevant journal. Other available resources include a curriculum outline on wound infection and several reviews and commentaries. The following resources focus on the latest evidence, research and education in wound infection prevention management. These are free to download and use in practice.

This article discusses some significant changes made to the wound infection
continuum, including changes in terminology used to describe phases
of wound infection, and distinction between early (covert) signs of local
infection and the overt classic Celsian signs.
This update provides an opportunity to explore contemporary advances in wound infection knowledge and practice. Since 2008, scientific and clinical understanding of chronic wound infection has developed significantly. This update is also available as a translation in both Chinese and Latin American Spanish.
