The study confirms both the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of larval therapy in the debridement of sloughy venous ulcers. |
The clinical investigation was restricted to the debridement of sloughy non-viable tissue only. |
Single or multiple ulcers typically have a raised, indurated margin and a sloughy base. |
Surgical debridement offers a quick solution to clean the wound from germs and sloughy infected tissues for practitioners trained to these techniques. |
These wounds can become sloughy and contaminated with bacteria, which increases the risks for clinical infection and malodour. |
High water content of Amorphous pharmagel promotes practice to debride necrotic, sloughy wounds and for second degree burns. |
