Chronic wounds Direct insight into how it works Here you will get an insight into the treatment methods for various wound healing supplies. Case report 1 - decubitus on the rump with wet necrosis Patient data and anamnesis: Pressure sores on the rump with wet necrosis on an 89-year-old, completely immobile patient. There is also diabetes mellitus with high blood sugar levels and MRSA infection. The patient is only partially oriented and capable of contact. For some weeks mobilization in the wheelchair is only occasionally possible. The care and nursing takes place via an outpatient nursing service 3 times a day and a home care service instead. The patient lies on a alternating pressure system and is stored. The urine excretion is passed through a urostoma. There is a fecal incontinence with frequent stool frequencies. So far, the decubitus was performed with a fine-pored foam dressing in three-day rhythm. This treatment resulted in no result. Exudate levels are moderate Fig. 1: 02.02.2016 Fig. 1: 10.02.2016 Fig. 1: 02.02.2016 Fig. 1: 19.02.2016 Fig. 1: 02.02.2016 Fig. 1: 09.03.2016 Fig. 1: 02.02.2016 Initially, a mechanical wound cleaning with polyhexanide solution and LIGASANO® intensive and soft was performed. Fig. 2: 02.02.2016 Tamponade of the small undermining at 3 o'clock and covering of the wound surface with LIGASANO® white wound strip mini. Fig. 3: 02.02.2016 Covering the wound area with LIGASANO® white sterile 15 x 10 x 1 cm and 24 x 16 x 1 cm. Fixation with adhesive fleece at the margin area. Dressing change every two days. In support of this, the patient was stored on LIGASANO® green 55 x 45 x 2 cm and LIGASANO® white 59 x 49 x 2 cm. Fig. 4: 10.02.2016 Further mechanical wound cleaning with polyhexanide solution and LIGASANO® intensive and soft. Complete replacement of necrosis by LIGASANO® alone. Fig. 5: 19.02.2016 The moist necroses and coatings were increasingly removed by the treatment with LIGASANO® white. This results in an increase in wound depth. The surrounding skin with the smaller decubitus ulcers has calmed significantly and the lesions have healed. The treatment is continued with the LIGASANO® white wound strip mini, the cover of the wound surface with LIGASANO® white sterile 15 x 10 x 1 cm and additionally with LIGASANO® white sterile 24 x 16 x 1 cm. Fixation with adhesive fleece at the margin area. Dressing change every two days. Fig. 6: 09.03.2016 The entire surrounding skin is intact and non-irritant. The wound bed has cleared and shows granulation islands. Significant decrease in wound depth through granulation.

Fig. 6: Condition after successful split skin transplantation. Excerpt from an application observation of the accident hospital Targu-Mureş, Romania, (c) Ligamed Case report 2 - second-degree burns on the forearm 21-year-old female patient with second-degree burn on her forearm. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Under LIGASANO® white wound therapy, a significant reduction in fibrin deposits can be shown within two dressing changes (Figs. 1 and 2). The wound was treated with a two-centimeter-thick LIGASANO® white foam. The foam was first changed daily, in the second week, after the decrease in wound secretion, the dressing was changed every two days. After removal of the dressing, the absorbed wound secretion and the detached fibrin coatings were visible on the wound side. The patient showed no pain either during the wearing time of the dressing or during the removal. There was no sticking between dressing and wound. At the beginning of the third week, the wound was epithelialized (Fig. 3). In the epithelisation phase, the foam was moistened with 2 ml Ringer solution. Excerpt from a post-marketing surveillance of the accident hospital Targu-Mureş, Romania (c) Ligamed Case report 3 - Third degree burns on the left forefoot Patient data and anamnesis: Young patient, born in 1989, tipped hot oil over his left forefoot and suffered grade 3 burns. Patient was already treated for 3 weeks in a medical care center. Due to the complex care, Rinocon GbR was additionally involved as a homecare company to further support and ensure continuous treatment. At the first admission of the patient, the wound was very heavily covered with fibrin, the toe gaps were strongly macerating and moist. The wound environment was dry and scaly. The treatment with paraffin-soaked gauze and sterile compresses proved to be insufficient within the first 3 weeks of treatment and very painful for the patient (dressing glued to the wound). Fig. 1: 31.05.2016 Fig. 2: First dressing check on 03.06.2016 (3rd day of treatment) Fig. 3: Dressing check on 14.06.2016 (14th day of treatment) Fig. 4: Dressing check on28.06.2016 (28th day of treatment) Fig. 1: 31.05.2016 After consultation by Rinocon GbR with the treating physician, the therapy was adapted and continued with Principelle IF 8 x 10 cm and LIGASANO® white sterile 15 x 10 x 1 cm. LIGASANO® was incised at the front and additionally tamponed into the toe gaps. The restoration was fixed with an elastic gauze bandage. Fig. 2: First dressing check on 03.06.2016 (3rd day of treatment): Already after 3 days with the changed treatment a highly positive course was observed. After mechanical debridement, the wound bed was completely free of fibrin deposits. Beginning epithelisation was visible at the wound margin. The previously strongly macerated toe interdigits were completely intact and dry. Fig. 3: Dressing control on 14.06.2016 (14th day of treatment): 70% of the wound was already covered with an epithelial layer, only two small wounds were left with a clean red granulating wound bed. The entire wound area was pale and dry. The treatment continued with a Principelle IF and LIGASANO® white sterile. Fig. 4: Dressing control on 28.06.2016 (28th day of treatment): The wound was completely epithelialized, skin appearance completely renewed without scarring. Conclusion: A highly positive course of the wound could be achieved with the treatment of Principelle IF in combination with sterile LIGASANO® PUR foam dressing white for the burn of grade 3 on the left forefoot of a young patient. The wound showed a good response to the selected combination of medical honey and foam dressing. In addition, the patient's pain load could be significantly reduced and the tolerance to the treatment increased sustainably.

Bapscarcare Bapscarcare is a medical silicone therapy that ensures faster and improved healing of the skin. It makes existing scars flatter, smoother and thinner. The scar is less disfiguring and in many cases becomes almost invisible. Bapscarcare provides visible reduction, even in thickened scar tissue that has formed thick ‘strands’ on the skin. Bapscarcare comprises four products with scientifically proven effectiveness. The products are also extremely pleasant to use. Bapscarcare offers the right treatment – from small scars on the face to larger, more problematic scars. One example is our scar gel with sun protection factor 40 (SPF 40), which protects scars from harmful UV radiation. Products Silicone scar gel Bapscarcare Gel ensures that scars become flatter, smoother and thinner. Complaints such as persistent redness, itching, restricted movement in the joints, discomfort and cosmetic problems are reduced. The gel can be used on both old and new scars: Treatment and prevention of abnormal scars (hypertrophic scars and keloids) Treatment of burn scars Treatment of surgical scars Silicone scar gel with UV protection Bapscarcare Gel SPF 40 has a sun protection factor of 40, which protects the scar from harmful UV rays. The gel provides increased moisture to the epidermis (top layer of skin). The increased moisture ensures that scarring is prevented or heals faster and symptoms are alleviated. Bapscarcare Gel SPF 40 can be applied anywhere on the skin and is ideal for treating scars on the face, neck, joints and skin folds. The gel is enriched with vitamin E. Bapscarcare T – thin silicone film Bapscarcare T is a self-adhesive, thin, transparent silicone film for treating old and new scars.

Contam ® Anker 1 Contam® Vaginal tampon Therapy option for stress incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine when laughing, coughing, sneezing, etc.) and for strengthening / activating the pelvic floor muscles. A planned hysterectomy with a plastic abutment can be dispensed with through effective therapy with Contam. Contam® Duo Can be used in the same way as the normal version - but its double shape offers a better fit and mode of action. Pressure is exerted on the tissue surrounding the urethra, resulting in a natural closure. This prevents unwanted urine leakage. In addition, the connection of the tampons brings a stability effect for easier insertion Contam® Special Contam® Special Product performance as normal version - additionally offers depot possibilities for ointments / creams (including ointments containing hormones) due to the groove-shaped surface in the depressions. The healing-supporting substances applied in the depressions of the tampon surface are hardly wiped off during insertion Contam® Med This tampon provides a carrier function for the local supply of medical substances that support healing. It can also be used as an aid if there is no stress incontinence, because the preformed urethral formation on both sides exerts no or barely noticeable pressure on the urethra Function: By positioning the tampon in the vaginal area, gentle pressure causes the bladder neck to return to its original position. The sphincter muscle can perform its original function again. The vaginal tampon supports the activation of the pelvic floor muscles. By using Contam®; uterine prolapse can be reduced if necessary and thus operations can be delayed, in some cases even prevented. Contam® performs the carrier function for local positioning of substances that support healing (for fungal infections, hormone treatments). Large sizes help to regress a prolapse. Advantages: pleasantly soft and supple, yet elastic not visible fits snugly odour-preventing Important information Contam® vaginal tampon does not need to be removed during urination. Vaginal secretion is maintained and the normal vaginal flora is not affected. The raw material used for Contam® is a toxicologically and dermatologically safe foam and has been used for decades in cardiac surgery, burns and open fractures. The sewn-in retrieval thread means that there is hardly any contact between the thread and the mucous membrane. Irritation is thus prevented. Contraindications: Please do not use Contam - during menstruation - in case of PVA allergy Important: Contam® should be changed after swimming. Wearing during pregnancy and in case of uterine prolapse should be agreed with the doctor. Wearing time should not be considerably longer than 12 hours if possible. Caution: If fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, dizziness or skin rash suddenly occur when using Contam®, remove the tampon and consult a doctor. Tip: For example, a cream containing estriol can be used to support insertion, which also helps to maintain the vaginal flora and vaginal secretion. Furthermore, protection against infection (Döderlein) and the tightening of the mucous membrane is promoted Contam Anker 2 Enjoy the pleasures of life again despite stress incontinence... Contam Using instruction english Bladder weakness, urinary incontinence Urinary incontinence (Lat.: Incontinentia urinae) refers to the loss or failure to learn the ability to safely store and expel urine at a desired location at a self-determined time Types of urinary incontinence: Urge incontinence The urge to urinate that cannot be suppressed causes urine to be lost before reaching the toilet. This can have various causes: Sensory urge incontinence: Here, the perception of the bladder filling is disturbed in the sense of a premature feeling of filling, for example due to an inflammation, bladder stones or blockage of the draining urinary tract. Motoric urge incontinence: Here, the nerve impulses leading out to the muscles of the bladder wall (the bladder muscles responsible for emptying) are disinhibited, which leads to a premature, sometimes spasmodic detrusor contraction. Urge incontinence can be the result of inflammation of the lower urinary tract (bladder, urethra), obstructive (constricting) changes such as urethral strictures, benign or malignant prostate enlargements, or neurological disorders such as dementia. Giggle incontinence (enuresis risoria): Giggle incontinence is a special form of urge incontinence. In this case, uncontrolled loss of urine occurs when laughing vigorously, but this is difficult to detect clinically. This rather rare form of urge incontinence is predominantly observed in girls; this form of incontinence has hardly ever been observed in boys or even in adults. The cause is a deficit in the central nervous inhibition of the micturition reflex Stressincontinence In stress incontinence, increased intra-abdominal pressure due to strain, pressing for various reasons (lifting, carrying, climbing stairs, laughing, coughing, sneezing) triggers the more or less pronounced loss of urine. Triggers can be coughing, sneezing and abrupt body movements; in severe cases, even unstrained movements. In women, stress incontinence is often caused by childbirth, which leads to overstretching and slackening of the retaining ligaments and the pelvic floor. Other known forms are mixed incontinence (i.e. urge and stress incontinence combined), overflow incontinence (constantly overfull urinary bladder due to drainage problems) and reflex incontinence due to central nervous disorders (e.g. after paraplegia or multiple sclerosis). Source: Wikipedia 2007 To prevent incontinence, and also in cases of existing bladder weakness, it is always advisable to drink enough fluids and do regular pelvic floor exercises.

epicite hydro - the hydro-active dressing for an ideal wound healing environment The biotechnology derived cellulose provides unique properties to the wound dressing epicitehydro. It contains a minimum of 95% isotonic saline solution due to its very dense and homogeneous structure. Creates a supportive moist environment to the wound with a favorable hydrobalance and water vapor permeability. Absorbs excess wound exudates. 1 Provides an immediate cooling effect after its application. 2 Adapts easily to all types and shapes of wounds and can be cut to a sizable fit. Dries out during the healing process and after successful epithelization can be peeled off easily and nearly pain-free. Easy to store (5 – 30°C). The unique structure of epicitehydro provides plenty of moisture to the skin Indications epicite hydro has been developed to support the healing of acute dermal wounds. It is proven for superficial and deep partial thickness wounds with a slight to moderate level of exudate. Superficial and deep partial thickness thermal or chemical burn wounds (1st and 2nd degree) Scalds Skin graft donor sites Abrasions Lacerations epicite hydro sets new standards for an advanced wound management Less pain and stress for patients due to the reduced number of dressing changes Can optionally be soaked with antiseptic solutions and is easy to apply Reduces nursing time and shortens hospital stay Application 1. Wound debridement. Ensure a good hemostasis. Assessement of wound depth. 2. Optional step: epicite hydro can be soaked for approximately 30 minutes in commonly used antiseptic solutions (like Octenidine or PHMB) 3. Apply epicitehydro on the wound. It should cover the surrounding healthy tissue by at least 1-2 cm. 4. For larger wounds, apply further epicite hydro dressings with overlaps of 1-2 cm. epicite hydro can be cut to fit any size of wound. 5. Apply one layer of fatty gauze. 6. If necessary, put material to absorb the wound exudate like a gauze compress on the fatty gauze for the first three days. Then use a fixation bandage. 7. The healing process is successful, when epicitehydro is dried out and the edges begin to peel. 8. The detached material should be cut off during each wound assessment until the entire dressing has come off (same principle as a natural scab). A wound dressing assessment should be done at least every 48 hours: epicitehydro and the fatty gauze remain on the wound. For superficial burn wounds (2a degree): no dressing change required. For mixed superficial and deep partial thickness burn wounds (2a & 2b degree) a dressing change may be required: Rehydrate epicitehydro for an easy and nearly pain-free removal. After assessment of the wound, apply a new epicitehydro dressing.

Fungal infections Texts and images (c) Ligamed Intertrigoprophylaxis and dealing with contractures In bedridden patients and joint immobilization, contracture (joint stiffness) and muscular atrophy (muscle contraction) may develop. Particularly at risk are patients with inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases, but also patients whose joints are immobilized, e.g. by restraint, paralysis or weakness. Measures to maintain an intact musculoskeletal system and functional joints are movement exercises, mobilization and appropriate positioning. What is an intertrigo? Where there is direct skin-to-skin contact, e.g. in skin folds or where for other reasons no air comes to the skin, sweat can not evaporate and the skin softens (maceration). In this humid environment, bacteria and fungi can multiply, the skin eventually becomes sore and intertrigo has developed. AVOIDING SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT (INTERTRIGOPROPHYLAXIS AND THERAPY) Not only as a preventive measure, but also as a therapy support for fungal treatments in connection with an antifungal agent or as a therapy itself if the skin is only irritated or slightly inflamed.
