View the case studies below to see the results after a single debridement.

Medical History:

• Male, age 72
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Congestive heart failure
• Cerebral infraction
• Atrial fibrillation
• 4th and 5th digits on left foot underwent a fifth ray amputation due to PVD

Clinical Outcomes:

From using this debridement pad on a chronic surgical site, there is obvious improvements before and after application, revealing a healthy, shallow granular wound bed with complete removal of the excess slough and macerated peri-wound callus.

Medical History:

• Male, age 78
• Bed bound
• Hyperkeratosis on both legs
• Pressure ulceration to bony prominences
• Strong malodour with high levels of exudate

Clinical Outcomes:

Using a single Prontosan® Debridement Pad per leg, an improvement to the overall skin condition was immediately visible. Effective wound healing continued with no slough or hyperkeratosis recurring to either limb on subsequent visits. 

Medical History:

• Male, age 35
• Pyoderma gangrenosum to the left lateral gaiter following trauma
• Wound present for 10 months
• High pain during cleansing, unable to tolerate effective compression therapy

Clinical Outcomes:

The Prontosan® Debridement Pad was immersed in a water/emollient solution. After the debridement pad was used, the debris was immediately cleared. After the removal of the debris, and suspected biofilm, the patient was able to commence compression therapy and the wound was almost healed in a total of 6 weeks.

Medical History:

• Female, age 80
• Venous leg ulcer, to the lateral and medial gaiter of the right leg
  
• Hypertension
• Oesophageal varices with bleeding
• Myelofibrosis
• History of basal cell carcinoma

Clinical Outcomes:

The Prontosan® Debridement Pad was used (soaked in Prontosan® Solution) and there was an immediate improvement to the skin condition after a few minutes of debridement. The first wound continued healing, with no slough or biofilm recurring, and no deterioration; the second wound improved, with reduced slough and improved skin condition.
