Successful Treatment of Chronic Wound in a Patient with Longstanding Shell Injury on Heel using, a Novel Product Formulation: A Case Report.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic wounds pose a significant burden on patients' physical and mental well-being and significantly raise health-care costs.

Case report: We report healing with VG111 application alone in a case of chronic wound in a patient who sustained a shell injury to the heel 35 years prior in 1988. Despite conventional wound care and multiple surgeries, the wound persisted. Application of VG111 resulted in complete healing of the wound within 3 months and restored the patient's ability to walk normally as shown by repeat X-Ray post 2 years of healing.

Conclusion: The management of non-healing chronic wounds poses major challenges in clinical practice. This novel formulation may offer a potential solution for patients with chronic wounds.
