Clinical Scenario:
A 62-year-old female patient presented to the hospital with the condition of an infected open wound on her foot for a known etiology for a long time. There was a small wound on her left foot that rapidly became infected and increased in size in a very short duration. The wound had a malodorous smell and heavy purulent exudates with a damaged skin layer accommodating necrotic tissues that progressively got bigger and increased maceration in the peri-wound area. Following the wound assessment, the doctor suggested CCNPWT (VTG-2901) to promote rapid wound healing and prepare the wound bed for primary closure.
Management:
Following the debridement procedure, CCNPWT (VTG-2901) therapy was initiated and started at -125 mmHg on a static pressure range for 6 days. There was ongoing supportive treatment for the prevention of other infections. Before the therapy, the wound was dry, the surrounding skin was also damaged, and a single dressing change was performed on the wound site. After applying a single dressing, the wound was heavily granulated with a reduction in wound size. After 6 days, the patient’s treatment was stopped, and she had excellent outcomes. Slough production was reduced, and peri-wound maceration was minimized.
