| This is a five year old Arab/Walker mare with a de-gloving injury. The problem: How to grow tissue over a moving part of the body where tissue is constantly stretched. This requires a bandage that does not immobilize the limb and allows maximum flexion during rehabilitation. Day 16 - Placental Tissue was implemented to augment development of granulation tissue. Days 61 & 75 - Note the size difference in the wound documented by the use of the clear chart. Final Day at Step Ahead - Note the wide, healthy epithelial border. Critical Points of this case: Granulation bed was slow to develop. (due to constant movement) Since wound is slightly above the knee, a nice epithelial border develops and leads to a very cosmetic healing. If you continue to treat wounds long enough, with the right products (excluding caustic materials), a cosmetic result can be achieved. Treatment started 7-30-2004 |
