Exudate plays a beneficial role in acute wounds, providing essential components for tissue repair. However, excessive exudate production or the development of a chronic wound can lead to detrimental effects on the wound and surrounding tissue, delaying the healing process. 

The presence of an exuding wound significantly impacts a patient's daily activities and well-being. To establish an optimal moist wound healing environment, it is crucial to identify and address the underlying causes of excessive wound exudate. To facilitate wound healing and reduce symptoms, proper management of exudate is also essential.
