A wound treatment system comprising: a wound dressing comprising an oxidized cellulose, and an apparatus for measuring of the concentration of at least one marker of chronic wound healing potential in a wound fluid, wherein said marker is selected from the group consisting of endogenous protease enzymes and endogenous protease enzyme inhibitors. Suitably the protease enzyme is neutrophil elastase and the protease enzyme inhibitor is alpha-1-antitrypsin. The apparatus for measuring the concentration of the marker may be a dip stick, test strip, or a swab. The oxidized cellulose may be oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and may be combined with chitosan or collagen in the form of a woven or non woven fabric or a sponge. |
