Chronic & Acute infected wounds
Wound will be cleaned with normal saline or tap water and Granulated sugar will be applied directly to the wound and covered with an absorbent pad and held in place with a bandage and tape.
Granulated Sugar
30 grams of granulated sugar is used to cover the wound area and this is held in place using a dry dressing pad , bandage and tape.
Debridement Dressing
1 Aquacel or Sorbsan dressing will be put over the wound, and held in place with a dry dressing pad, bandage and tape.
