Limb Salvage through Intermediary Wound Coverage with Acellular Dermal Matrix Template after Persistent Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection in a Burn Patient

Secondary infections of skin grafts pose a continuous problem in burn patients, very often leading to loss transplanted and making multiple surgical revisions necessary. We present case report about persisting Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection patients with known diabetes. The wounds lower extremities required repeated debridements, grafting attempts finally an application the dermal scaffold NovoSorb BTM. With these measures, we managed undertake successful reconstruction infected defects pre-vent amputation. concluded that BTM could be seen as additional promising tool surgery armamentarium. In cases where radical wound decontamination is not possible without risking limb, over contaminated field can win extra time for topical treatment additionally provide excellent ground.
