摘要
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are treated using topical antiseptics and systemic antibiotics, but some cases are unresponsive to such regimens. This case study reports the effective healing of an SSI by a chitosan wound dressing (MaxioCel; Axio Biosolutions Private Limited, India) in a 63-year-old female patient. The patient presented with an infected, hard-to-heal wound in the abdominal region, developed after a hernia surgery, and was initially treated with standard procedures. However, due to the continuous progression of infection, a highly absorbent, bioactive microfibre dressing was selected for the treatment and was continued for two months with alternate-day dressing changes. After 60 days of treatment, wound healing was observed, along with remission from the infection, as well as reduction in exudate level and pain. The use of chitosan wound dressing in management of hard-to-heal infected wounds provides efficient remission of SSI and a faster healing rate.
