DEVELOPING A TIME CONCEPT TREATMENT IN A POST-TRAUMATIC WOUND
WITH HEMATOMA IN THE LOWER EXTREMITY

Aim: In patients with venous disease, one possible origin for developing a wound is an
accidental traumatism. The full assessment of a patient presenting with a wound is very
important for healing and complete rehabilitation.
The TIME concept is a recommended methodology for health professionals to help in
the correct evaluation of a wound in every situation of treatment, allowing to identify the
problem and to define the best treatment to obtain better and faster healing.
Methods: Two clinical cases including chronic wounds of a traumatic origin were
documented. Wounds were treated with a sequential treatment: a hydro-desloughing
dressing first in the debridement stage, followed by a new wound dressing technology*
to accelerate healing process.
Results: In both cases, the result is the total epithelialization of the wounds.
Conclusions: The use of the TIME concept allowed to prepare and stimulate the
healing process, and also to use the correct treatment protocol for each wound.

TREATMENT OF PRESSURE ULCERS IN TOES WITH A HYDRO-DESLOUGHING
DRESSING

2 Hospital Virgen Macarena (Sevilla, Spain).
Aim: A necrotic plate supposes several problems when starting a treatment regardless
of the type of wound. The use of a combined system of debridement: osmotic and
autolytic, allows an effective elimination of this necrotic plate. The hydro-desloughing
dressing constitutes a new system of debridement, which has high attraction for slough.
It is indicated when the wound is moderately to heavily exuding and has a high content
of sough over the surface of the wound.
Methods: A clinical case looking at the treatment of pressure ulcers in toes with a hydrodesloughing
dressing was documented.
Results: In this clinical case, a 39 years old patient presented with a necrotic plate in
toes of both feet with a month of evolution and also clinical signs of infection. With the
use of the hydro-desloughing dressing, the wound was debrided and evolved positively
over 63 days.
Conclusions: This experience illustrates the efficacy of a new hydro-desloughing
dressing in this type of wounds.
