Case Study 01
This patient had been suffering with venous ulcers for two years. Initial consultation at The Wound Clinic until complete healing was 3 months and the ulcers remain healed to date.

Case Study 02
This lady in her early 60’s presented to The Wound Clinic with a large area of inflamed circumferential ulceration, exquisitely painful, so much so that she could not bear to have any dressings administered. The ulcer was making her depressed and withdrawn and at her wits end. She was on huge amounts of morphine to help with pain. After careful and attentive treatment, 15 weeks later, the ulcer is virtually healed, the only pain relief is an occasional paracetamol and this delightful lady’s quality of life has returned!

Case Study 03
This man in his 50s had a tumour removed from his leg but due to the size of the tumour, the wound could not be closed. With careful ongoing wound care, over 8 weeks, using negative pressure therapy and SurgihoneyRO, the wound fully healed with no further issues.

Case Study 04
This lady in her 20’s underwent abdominal surgery. She attended The Wound Clinic as her incision site opened out. the open wound was associated with constant infections making her generally unwell, was sore and unsightly. She underwent complete excision of the wound with a very satisfactory result.

Case Study 05
This 51-year-old lady presented with bilateral wound breakdown following a thigh lift procedure performed overseas. On returning to the UK, she developed extensive breakdown at the top ends of both incisions, resulting in large, deep soft tissue defects. The patient reported emotional distress and dissatisfaction with the care received through the NHS, where she felt unsupported. A personalised wound care regimen was implemented, involving tailored dressings to optimise healing and minimise discomfort. Complete wound closure was achieved within three months.

Case Study 06
A 47-year-old woman sustained a severe burn injury to her foot after accidentally spilling hot soup on it, resulting in significant tissue loss, as illustrated in the initial image. The injury was associated with considerable pain. Through a meticulous and gentle wound care regimen, complete healing was achieved within three weeks, with full resolution of pain.

Case Study 07
An 87-year-old gentleman travelled all the way from Ghana to attend The Wound Clinic with a severe wound that extended all the way around his lower leg. He had undergone many months of painful treatment with little improvement. Following a careful and personalised programme of wound dressings and compression therapy, the wound was almost completely healed within just two months. He was then able to return home to Ghana far more comfortable and significantly happier.

Case Study 08
A 62-year-old gentleman presented to The Wound Clinic as an emergency with a severely infected foot and was extremely unwell. He was found to have previously undiagnosed diabetes. After urgent removal of infected tissue and intensive wound care, he avoided further amputation and the wounds healed beautifully. Within around eight weeks, he was back on his feet and able to return to his normal daily activities.
