Overview
Isolating and Diverting Toxic Effluent Can Help the Wound Heal
Managing patients with complex abdominal wounds can be a struggle. Particularly challenging are enteric or intestinal fistulas that drain into open abdominal wounds.
A published case series of patients treated with the WOUND CROWN® device found
- Control of effluent is critical to protect the wound bed from the corrosive effects of bowel contents and to allow the surrounding wound bed to develop granulation tissue.
- Inability to control effluent often requires both specialized wound care personnel and prolonged inpatient hospitalization.
The WOUND CROWN® FISTULA FUNNEL® and ISOLATOR STRIP®
Are intended for use to isolate and divert effluent from enteroatmospheric fistulas, enterocutaneous fistulas, or an ostomy close to an incision.
