Abstract

This painful ulcer, which had signs of biofilm, was covered in necrotic tissue. Octenilin Wound Gel was used to soften the necrosis in preparation for sharp debridement. Three weeks later, the devitalised tissue had been completely removed, while there was a 50% reduction in wound size at week 5.
