CASE STUDY
DAY 1
- Wound measured 11.2cm by 2.2cm and had a depth of 10.4cm Wound presented as 5% necrotic, 45% slough and 50% granulating tissue
- Wound showed clinical signs of infection – erythema, heat, odeama, increased level of exudate and abnormal discharge
- ActivHeal® AquaFiber™ Ag ribbon applied and covered with secondary dressing • Dressing was changed daily due to excessive exudates level
- All necrotic tissue removed
- Granulation tissue increased to 60%
- Infection and exudates levels reduced (bacterial burden reduction)
- 90% granulation tissue
- Wound depth reduced to 9.9cm Exudation levels reduced
- The dressing was discontinued and TNP initiated
ActivHeal® AquaFiber™ Ag dressing aided the reduction of bacterial bio-burden and the autolytic debridement of devitalised tissue.
ACTIVHEAL® AQUAFIBER™ AG, PROVEN TO BE AN EFFECTIVE ANTIMICROBIAL DRESSING OF CHOICE
Clinical Evaluation: The management of exudates is an essential requirement in wound care. It is vital that an optimal moist wound environment is created and that the surrounding skin is protected from maceration and the subsequent risk of infection. ActivHeal® AquaFiber™ Ag is a high gelling antimicrobial wound dressing that has the ability to absorb high levels of exudate whilst maintaining a moist wound environment. The addition of silver ions results in a dual purpose dressing that is proven to be effective at exudate management, as well as being effective in eradicating a broad spectrum of microorganisms including antibiotic resistant strains such as MRSA, MRSE and VRE.
