STERNAL, RECTUS AND LEG WOUNDS IMPROVE QUICKLY 12/12
sternum leg rectus STERNAL, RECTUS AND LEG WOUNDS IMPROVE QUICKLY 12/12 Use of HBO and VAC therapy along with Multi-disciplinary approach The interdisciplinary approach coupled with state of the art wound care resulted in amazing results - quickly. The patient responded well to HBO, VAC therapy, IV antibiotics, and nutritional support.

STERNUM AND LEG GRANULATE ABDOMINAL WOUND DEBRIDED 01/13
rectus sternum abdomen STERNUM AND LEG GRANULATE ABDOMINAL WOUND DEBRIDED 01/13 Abdominal wound measures 15x10x4cm A small necrotic area distal to the rectus site was débrided and found to be necrotic beneath the surface. Clean granulated wound beds provided a perfect area for split thickness skin grafts. The rectus muscle was closing on it’s own.
