We have an end stage patient on hospice with a necrotic wound. Pain is well managed and the family does not want aggressive treatment for the wound. She is in LTC and the staff is c/o odor from the wound. Recommendations for dressings, or anything we can use in the wound to neutralize the odor. We already know about charcoal or cat litter under the bed. Anything more direct for the wound?
Thanks for your help.

Since no one has replied, check under Hospice Nursing. There are several suggestions for wound odor.
