Wound Details
Pilonidal sinus with a 5-year history of recurrent healing and non-healing episodes
Key Findings and Data:
- Increased granulation and epithelialization observed between 10.07.23 and 21.09.23.
- Complete wound healing achieved by 31.10.23, avoiding further surgical intervention.
The dressing efficiently handled fluctuating exudate levels.
- No periwound maceration, preserving surrounding skin integrity.
- The patient was able to independently change dressings, enhancing her self-care and quality of life.
Key Insights
- MaxioCel’s bioactive and haemostatic properties facilitated rapid haemostasis and optimized healing.
- Its easy application and maintenance enabled patient autonomy in wound management.
