Importance: A new successful therapeutic option for chronic complicated pressure lesions using a Carbohydrate Polymer with Zinc Oxide (CPZO®). Introduction: A 20-year-old male patient diagnosed with congenital Myelomeningocele was seen and examined in our office on December 08, 2014. When we first received the patient, he had two very large fistulized pressure ulcers stage IV in the gluteal and perianal areas. Both ulcers presented evidence of infection, with purulent fecal discharge, and extensive inflammation and destruction of surrounding tissue. Conclusions and Relevance: This case proves the therapeutic efficiency of CPZO® a new Medical Device II with pro- healing, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties on a young male patient with chronic complicated severe pressure ulcers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
