Chronic, non-healing wounds present a significant challenge in community care. Common issues can include:
🔹Persistent infection.
🔹Pain during and between dressing changes.
🔹Friable tissue, prone to bleeding.
🔹Trauma caused by frequent dressing removal and reapplication.
Five community-based patients with complex, slow-healing wounds, presenting with infection, were evaluated for up to 6 weeks (depending on wound progression). The chitosan dressing was used as a primary dressing.
This evaluation demonstrates positive outcomes in wound healing rates, infection management, patient comfort, and reduced healthcare professional burden with the 100% chitosan dressing
This case series was written and presented by Eva Harris, Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist & Jackie Dark, Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist: Swindon Community Tissue Viability Service, UK.
