Cernica, C.W., 2023. EP020 ACCELERATING THE CHRONIC WOUND HEALING PROCESS WITH A TREATMENT COMBINATION OF 100% CHITOSAN WOUND DRESSING AND INELASTIC COMPRESSION THERAPY. Journal of Wound Management, 24(2).
Wound Details
Chronic venous ulcers that had previously shown poor response to conventional treatments.
Key Findings and Data:
- Within 2 weeks, the wounds were significantly cleaner, exudate levels reduced, and malodour subsided.
- Full wound closure was achieved, demonstrating the effectiveness of MaxioCel combined with compression therapy. Initial VAS pain score of 4-6 reduced to 2-3 within the treatment period.
- Patients experienced improved sleep and mobility, leading to an enhanced quality of life.
Key Insights
- The study highlights the synergistic effect of MaxioCel and multilayer compression therapy, proving to be an effective strategy for chronic venous ulcer healing.
- With its exudate management, antimicrobial properties, and pain relief, MaxioCel proves to be an advanced wound care solution for chronic ulcers.
- The study reinforces that modern wound dressings like MaxioCel, when used in combination with compression therapy, can significantly enhance healing and patient well-being.
