Can I brag a little? We have been working very hard in getting control over our ulcers and have been successful in have NO ulcers. Yeah!! (Sorry couldn't resist)
The product that I like the best is Woun'dres made by Sween. It is an autolytic debriding agent that does not harm the healthy tissue surrounding the wound. It promotes healing by providing a moist environment.
It works well for us, but I guess you need to do trials to see what you like. Most manufacturers will provide samples if requested.
Good luck....Cynthia
The only ulcers our facility has had to cure have come from the acute care environment. We were involved in a study through the Univ. of Iowa and Rita Franz. Rita has a web site which you should visit. Rita used a TENS unit for 30min. tid and wet to damp NaCl soaks. We have had success without failure using her protacol.
