Outcome
This case was a 9 year-old non-healing sacral wound, post-necrotizing fasciitis. A wide variety of non- antimicrobial as well as antimicrobial dressings were used, and all failed to heal the wound. The patient had sensitivities to adhesives, and had resigned herself to the fact that the wound may never heal.
After just 4 weeks of wound management with AQUACELTM Ag+ dressing, significant progression and a reduction in wound size was noted.
AQUACELTM Ag+ dressing facilitated wound progression in this static wound after other types of dressings had failed. The patient was extremely satisfied, and remained optimistic that the wound she thought would never heal, would eventually heal completely with the AQUACELTM Ag+ dressing.
