Clinical Scenario:
A 41-year-old male patient presented to the hospital with a venous leg ulcer on his right leg (VLU). The wound was excruciating, and he was unable to walk correctly. When the doctor examined the wound, his previous medical history included peripheral vascular disease. His wound copiously drained ulcerations on the right lower leg area, which spread despite using multiple cleaning methods. There are two ulcers present on the right lower leg. One is on the tibialis anterior and the other is on the side of the leg. Symptoms were present and failed to respond to compression and dressing. After a complete examination of the wound, the doctor suggested CCNPWT (VTG 2901) for faster wound healing.
Management:
After disinfecting the wound, the CCNPWT (VTG 2901) system was initiated at a continuous pressure range of -125 mmHg. Following the treatment, the purulent discharge dramatically decreased. CCNPWT (VTG 2901) started the exudate management, removal of edema, and promotion of tissue perfusion, and it started the stimulation of granulation tissue formation. After 2 dressing changes, 80 per cent of the granulation tissue filled the wound bed. After achieving a satisfactory result, the therapy was stopped, and the wound underwent further closure.
