Use of chitosan-based dressings for the management of a chronic lower limb ulcer: a case report.
Authors
Abstract
Nonhealing ulcers are difficult to manage because they deviate from the normal wound healing process. The standard treatment with saline dressings is not efficient in treating patients with such wounds; advanced wound care dressings are needed. Chitosan-based advanced wound dressings are gaining popularity because of their unique characteristics, such as absorbency, conformability, and pain alleviation at the wound bed. A case of an ulcer that developed after cellulitis and healed with application of a chitosan-based dressing is presented.
