Ms. Huang, 38 years old, is 156cm tall, weighs 65kg, and has a BMI of 26.0, has suffered from orbital inflamma tory pseudotumor for more than 10 years, and has been treated with methylprednisolone for a long time. Suffer from varicose veins of lower extremities, grade 2, but resist the treatment of elastic socks. At the beginning of January 2022, when riding an electric bicycle, she hit a roadside post and damaged the lower leg of her right leg. At that time, she did not seek medical treatment in time and went home for treatment by herself. The wound has not been healed. Two weeks ago, the wound exuded yellow pus and the surrounding skin was red and swol len, so she went to the clinic in early February for help.

Abstract

Intervention of treatment was performed during 2022.2.23 to 2022.4.11, the whole process was 48 days, and the dressing was changed 14 times. The wound healing generally goes through three stages: infection control, granulation tissue and epithelialization. The direction and progress of wound healing are in line with the nursing managemant and overall goal. LUOFUCON® Silicone Foam Dressing , Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing and Alginate Dressing were used for this patient during the care routine.

Treatment

① After cleaning up the wound, using the Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing to hydrate necrotic tissue then dressed it with the LUOFUCON® Silicone Foam Dressing Border. The dressing was changed twice a week.

② After the black scab was removed, using LUOFUCON® Alginate Dressing to fill the sinus then dressed it with the LUOFUCON® Silicone Foam Dressing Border. The dressing was changed twice a week.

③ After the sinus closed, the wound was covered with the LUOFUCON® Silicone Foam Dressing Border, and changed once a week until the wound healed.

Conclusion

Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing could be used to promote autolysis debridement under the premise of controlling infection. Alginate Dressing would absorb exudate to form gel, which could also help maintain the moist environment of the wound bed and promote the growth of granulation. Foam Dressing could effectively manage the exudation, effectively promote epithelization, and accelerate wound healing.

The multi-layered construction facilitates dynamic fluid management to provide the optimal moist wound environment which leads to the promotion of faster wound closure and may help to reduce the risk of maceration. The gentle silicone layer can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherent.
