Joseph, 33 years-old male, a music producer and outdoor enthusiast, experienced a burn injury during a barbecue gathering.

The accident occurred when a dashing dog knocked over the barbecue stove, causing burns on the patient's neck and shoulder.

Seeking help at The Wound Academy, the patient was in extreme pain and concerned about the impact on his music work during the concert season. He longed for a treatment that would provide relief, minimize clinic visits, and support self-care while ensuring a safe and secure healing process.

A Pain-Reducing and Gentle Approach

During the initial consultation, the wound was assessed, and the decision was made to use HydroClean Solution - a highly effective wound cleansing solution. This specialized solution is designed to clean wounds completely, soften dead tissue, and promote healing. Unlike other disinfectants with cytotoxicity, HydroClean Solution is suitable for sensitive skin and alleviates irritation, reducing pain during wound cleansing.

Removing Dead Tissue with Ease

The patient had a large area of dead tissue on the neck, which required debridement. To facilitate painless removal of the dead tissue, HydroClean, a hydro-responsive wound dressing, was applied. This innovative dressing softens and hydrates the tissue, making debridement more comfortable for the patient. The darker part of the wound on the neck was effectively debrided, preparing the wound bed for optimal healing.

Supporting Healing and Preventing Infection

For the rest of the burn wound, HydroTac Transparent, a hydrogel sheet dressing, was selected to provide protection, optimal moisture balance, and accelerate wound healing. The patient had extensive skin loss and intense pain, along with a risk of infection. By using HydroTac Transparent, we aimed to maintain a moist wound environment, avoiding scab formation and promoting healthy epithelialization. This dressing is fully transparent, allowing continuous monitoring of the wound without premature removal, minimizing clinic visits and ensuring convenience for the patient.
