The Potential of Gelam Honey in Promoting the Proliferative Phase of Corneal Reepithelialization.
Wounds : a Compendium of Clinical Research and Practice 2017 December
INTRODUCTION: Advances in molecular diagnostic medicine have allowed for more rapid, accurate, and comprehensive methods for identifying microorganisms in a chronic wound, which led to the de- velopment and use of a tailored topical antibiotic gel aimed at treating this bioburden.
OBJECTIVE: This is a retrospective chart review evalu- ating the authors' early experience with the use of bacteria-speci c antimicrobial gel therapy on chronic lower extremity wounds that have not responded to standard therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients in the study were treated with a topical gel along with standard of care modalities.
RESULTS: A total of 48 patients with 76 wounds (50/76 venous leg ulcers; 65.8%) were identi ed and analyzed. Of the 48 patients, 11 (22.9%) had complete wound closure at a mean of 101.6 days of treatment. The number of wounds decreasing in size improved from 45.3% to 77.6% after gel therapy. An analysis of all wounds showed an increase in size by 0.7% weekly with the topical gel; how- ever, a mean weekly healing rate of 6.5% was seen when analyzing only the subset of wounds that decreased in size.
CONCLUSIONS: Although a minor improvement of weekly healing rate was seen for a subset of the wounds, the overall wound closure rate was low.
