Clinical Scenario:
A 45-year-old patient presented to the hospital with an infected wound on the foot with an unknown aetiology. Upon focus examination, the doctor noted that the patient had developed an infected wound on the tarsal to the metatarsal area. The wound bed had the presence of a yellow slough with an open basal layer containing damaged underlying tissue and exposed bones. The wound bed had questionable depth with maceration in the peri-wound area. The doctor recommended CCNPWT treatment for the fast wound healing process, obtaining granulation tissue, and preparation of the wound bed with primary closure.
Management:
After cleansing of the wound, CCNPWT treatment was initiated, and therapy started continuously at -100 mmHg pressure. During the therapy session, the wound underwent a single session of dressing change. After removal of the final dressing, the wound bed was occupied with granulated tissue, and peri-wound skin health was also improved. Upon follow-up, the wound bed was considered for further grafting.
