Abstract

Chronic wounds pose a significant healthcare challenge, affecting millions of individuals and incurring substantial healthcare costs. In this case study, we present the successful treatment of a chronic lower extremity wound in an 80-year-old female using PuraPly™, a Type I collagen matrix embedded with polyhexylmethylene biguanide (PHMB). The patient initially sustained the injury, which had become infected and resistant to conventional treatments. After applying PuraPly™, the wound showed rapid improvement, ultimately resulting in complete closure. Our findings highlight the utility of PuraPly™ as an effective intervention for chronic wounds, thereby improving treatment outcomes and the quality of life for these patients.
