Results
Patient 1: After 7 days of treatment, the wound size reduced to 3 cm x 3 cm and there was 100% granulation, no pain on palpation, no drainage, and no sign of local infection. After 51 days of treatment with the hydrogel, the wound was considered healed with 98% closure.
Patient 2: After 70 days of treatment, the distal eschar detached, and a healed digit was noted.
Conclusion
Successful wound healing was achieved in patients with significant co-morbidities after use of a novel, OTC, botanical-based, nontoxic, wound care supercharged hydrogel. With its anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, and by targeting the overstimulation of cytokine secretion, this hydrogel shows promise in addressing the underlying causes while promoting healing of chronic wounds.
