Abstract (2. Language): 
Ozone has a high potential to kill pathogenic factors. Ozone therapy improves pathologic conditions and may treat infectious wounds such as bedsore and infections due to burning and specially the wounds due to confine to bed in hospital for a long time. Recent studies indicated that chronic wound is increasing in communities; many people suffer from it every year and it has many economic and social problems for the communities. Ageing process of populations and diseases related to ageing such as diabetes, arterial diseases and trauma are the essential causes. Ozone role in treating chronic wounds has been proposed since many years ago and some studies have been done in this regard. Ozone is 9 atom oxygen which is colourless and has loud smell; it was used for the first as medicament in First World War; it was used to treat the German soldiers' gaseous gangrene; ozone has been become more valuable to treat diseases since that time. This material is mixed with oxygen with low concentrations in medicine. Studies indicated when the material is used with more local oxygen it plays some role in stimulating growth factors production, controlling inflammatory processes and vascular enlargement to treat some diseases. The mechanisms involved in ozone function in living tissues may play some role in accelerating the healing of chronic wounds. Considering chronic wounds treatment is long and hard it is very important to find new treatment mechanisms.
