Tratamiento de una herida de larga evolución con estimulación precoz de la cicatrización

Symptoms of infection were observed and a long course of broad-spectum antibiotics was administered. Given the site and characteristics of the lesion, unselective cleansing techniques were avoided. Collagen powder and silver dressing were applied to control bacteria and finally alginate and silicone sponge dressings were applied to soak up the exudate and keep the area moist. After 22 weeks of treatment, evident signs of improvement were observed, allowing the patient to perform activities of daily living.
