The management of skin deficit wounds, wounds that dehisce and contaminated wounds is frustrating and time consuming. The Proxiderm can simplify a difficult procedure, avoid general anesthesia with its associated complications, it is less traumatic and results in a quicker recovery Case Report 1
Figure 1 A 21 year old patient was admitted to the emergency room with an abdominal gunshot wound. The patient required a colectomy, nephrectomy and splenectomy. Following debridement the wound measured 4 cm by 7 cm and was 7.5 cm deep. Because this area was contaminated, a multistage closure using the Proxiderms was indicated. Figure 2 Proxiderm model PS 460 were intermittently applied for 7 days. The wound was evaluated
on intervals of 2 to 3 days. Appearance at seven days shows a well healed wound. Case Report 2
Figure 1 A 55 year old patient with a self inflicted gun shot wound to the chest and abdomen. The wound was sutured closed at surgery. One day later the sutured wound broke down and dehisced. Appearance after dehiscence and debridement. Because this area was contaminated, a multistage closure using the Proxiderms was indicated. Figure 2 The physician used Proxiderm model D 460 and PS 460. There were three intermittent applications of Proxiderms. Figure 3 Appearance at 12 days. |
