Luciano
Clinician:
Valley Wound Care Specialists
Product:
ActiGraft®
Condition:
Non-healing cuts
Luciano, a 69-year-old man, suffered a fall that resulted in three non-healing wounds on his legs.
After unsuccessful treatment and visits to various clinics, Lou was offered a new way to support cutaneous wound healing.
In February 2019, Lou suffered a fall that resulted in three cuts on his legs – one on his left, and two on the right. In May 2019, Lou visited a wound care center to address the non-healing cuts. The scabs that formed over his cuts were removed, which caused the wounds to expand at a rapid rate.
Soon after, Lou discovered that he developed an infection – MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a type of bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics. Lou was prescribed antibiotics, but even still, the doctors were unable to heal his wounds.
