Abstract

ABSTRACT
Importance: A new successful therapeutic option for chronic complicated pressure lesions using a Carbohydrate Polymer with Zinc Oxide (CPZO®).

Introduction: A 20-year-old male patient diagnosed with congenital Myelomeningocele was seen and examined in our office on December 08, 2014. When we first received the patient, he had two very large fistulized pressure ulcers stage IV in the gluteal and perianal areas. Both ulcers presented evidence of infection, with purulent fecal discharge, and extensive inflammation and destruction of surrounding tissue. 

Conclusions and Relevance: This case proves the therapeutic efficiency of CPZO® a new Medical Device II with pro- healing, anti-inflammatory and
bactericidal properties on a young male patient with chronic complicated severe pressure ulcers.
