Applying Chemspunge® in an HIV infected patient with a large sacral pressure ulcer

In 2004 a colleague of mine admitted a patient with HIV and she had a massive sacral pressure sore due to decreased sensation over her sacrum and immobility.
She was in a poor nutritional state and the wound was severely infected.
The wound was at least 10 cm deep, lined with foul smelling necrotic tissue and 20- 25cm wide.
I thought that the patient had such a poor prognosis that I was reluctant to use her as a case study.
Because of this I only took photos of the wound at a later stage.

At first we made an effort to improve her nutritional state and made sure that she was gaining weight.
Systemic antibiotics were given and her diet was supplement with Zinc, Vitamin C and Folate.
The wound was packed with Chemspunge® wound plugs and they were changed daily until the cavity filled up with granulation tissue. (See photo
