Treatment of infected trauma wound

Amicapsil was used fpr the treatment of an infected trauma wound in a young man. It had started as a small scratch 5 months prior on the knee. Due to increasing wound size, redness and heat, the small injury centre one month later provided a course of systemic antibiotics. This did not resolve the wound and over the following 4-month-period steroid cream, gel dressings, NPWT (vacuum pump), Manuka honey and another course of systemic antibiotics were tried. However, the infected trauma wound continued to deteriorate.

After an X-ray to exclude bone infection, Amicapsil was used by the Solent Trust over a period of two and a half weeks and the wound had healed fully within 2 months.

The successful treatment of the infected trauma wound was achieved despite  the person being on a range of medications.
