| Design: | Non-comparative multi-center evaluation |
| Number of patients: | 100 |
| Types of Wounds: | 54.9% Chronic Wounds, 31.5% Acute Wounds, 13.5% Other Types of Wounds |
| Location: | Glasgow and Clyde Regions, UK |
HydroClean® plus - The Glasgow Experience
Promote autolytic debridement:
More than 90% of the clinicians reported that the removal of devitalized tissue had been achieved.[1]
Devitalized tissue (necrosis and slough) reduced about 69% accompanied by an increase in wound bed granulation tissue of over 280%*[1]
Reduce pain:
More than 3 in 4 (76.1%) patients experienced no pain during wear time.[1]
Nearly 50% of patients who did experience pain reported a significant improvement.[1]
Cost-effective:
Savings per patient of using HRWD vs. honey (A), larval (B) and mechanical debridement (C) were approximately 21% (A), 98% (B) and 30% (C).[1]
Fast:
Up to 69% removal of necrosis and devitalized tissue within 14 days*[1]
Simple
1 product instead of many: cleanses, debrides, desloughs wounds, absorbs exudates, binds bacteria[2–10]
Effective
Effective wound cleansing[2–5,7,9] and rapid debridement,[2,4,6,11–15]reduced pain during wear time[4–6,11,12,14–18], significant reduction of bacterial load[2,6,19] and biofilm[20]
