Pressure Ulcer Case Study
A 93 year-old wheelchair-bound male with no significant nutritional deficits developed a chronic trochanteric pressure ulcer. The ulcer was treated with various wound care therapies for four months without progress. The wound bed was friable and therefore presumptive for high bioburden. It was elected to start an antimicrobial dressing in conjunction with offloading the affected hip. Closure was attained within four weeks.
