JB, a 62 year old male, was facing potential amputation of his lower left leg following traumatic injury in the left malleolar area. Previous treatments over an approximate six week period had not improved the wound condition. A sodium chloride impregnated dressing, Mesalt Sterile Sodium Chloride Impregnated Dressing, was tried as a last resort prior to amputation of the lower leg. Three weeks of therapy with this dressing documented dramatic improvements in wound size, odor, amount of drainage, type of drainage, surrounding skin condition and appearance of the wound bed. The simplicity of the treatment regimen facilitated care of the wound by nursing home staff, home care personnel and JB's son. After 17 weeks of therapy, the wound was completely healed and amputation avoided.
JB是一名62岁男性，在左踝区遭受创伤后，面临左腿下部可能被截肢的情况。在大约六周的时间里，先前的治疗并未改善伤口状况。在小腿截肢前，作为最后的手段，尝试了一种浸渍氯化钠的敷料——Mesalt无菌浸渍氯化钠敷料。使用这种敷料治疗三周后，伤口大小、气味、引流液量、引流液类型、周围皮肤状况和伤口床外观都有了显著改善。治疗方案的简单性便于养老院工作人员、家庭护理人员和JB的儿子对伤口进行护理。经过17周的治疗，伤口完全愈合，避免了截肢。
