A clinical case report on chronic wounds using Granulox
Main Article Content
Abstract
- Nowadays, oxygen is applied in the treatment of chronic wounds with many therapies: hyperbaric oxygen therapy, local oxygen.
- Granulox is a product that contains a high purity Hemoglobin dissolved in water and capable of binding oxygen from the air to the tissue of the wound and then diffusing on the background of the wound to increase oxygen saturation in a wound.
- We have used Granulox products containing Hemoglobin on some chronic wounds due to different reasons being treated at the wound healing center. In the first step, there are some comments about the clinical effectiveness of the drug:
- Granulox contributes to enhancing the local oxygen of chronic wound, therefore, it helps to support the healing of wound/to heal the wound.
- Granulox is easy to use and reduces the number of dressing changes.
