Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the effect of local application of Utsadaniya lepa (Application of herbal paste to a wound-producing granulation) in wound bed preparation. Materials and methods: A surgically created deep wound was managed with the local application of lepa of Utsadaniya dravyas (drugs) mixed with goghruta (ghee). Jalaukavacharana (leech therapy) and vrana dhavana (washing) with Triphala kwatha were also administered as adjuvant medication. Observation: Utsadaniya lepa has an important role in enhancing the process of granulation formation in shuddha vrana. Result: Post debridement deep wound on the dorsum of the right foot was treated successfully with Utsadaniya lepa to achieve wound bed preparation for further surgical intervention, i.e., split skin grafting. Conclusion: Utsadaniya lepa effectively reduces the wound's depth by accelerating the process of granulation formation.
