ABSTRACT

We carried out a literary review of wounds and their role in society throughout the history of mankind, specifically, the renaissance, the industrial revolution, and the contemporary age. We explain how wound management evolved with the influence of great philosophers, such as, Galen; painters such as, Da Vinci; military personnel such as, Ambrosio Pare and Dionisio Daza Chacón, and even politicians, such as, Karl Marx, culminating in a focus on the current challenges in Mexico, for its optimal handling and the perspective of health professionals.
