Prevention and appropriate management of wound infection is central
to promote the healing process. While not all wounds will necessitate
use of systemic antibiotics, some may benefit from the use of topical
antimicrobials as part of a holistic standard of care. This article describes
five different cases, from China, where the clinicians used Technology
Lipido-Colloid Silver Non-Adherent (TLC-Ag) dressings as part of their
holistic multidisciplinary wound management strategy. The wounds
discussed were mainly chronic, including two venous leg ulcers and
lymphoedema ulcer, a post-amputation wound as well as a case of
pyoderma gangrenosum. Managing these wounds with TLC-Ag as a part
of the standard holistic multidisciplinary care provided resulted in positive
outcomes for the patients.
