Trophic shin ulcer in an elderly patient
Before Novoskin
— Slowly progressive ulcer with fibrinous coating and inflamed edges
— Standard therapy with ointments and dressings ineffective
— Marked pain, fear of infection and amputation
Treatment stages
Ulcer defect was debrided: fibrin was removed, edges were treated, and hemostasis was achieved. Novoskin dressing was applied to the granulating surface. Three dressing changes at 7–10-day intervals. After the first change—pain reduction and active growth of granulation tissue.

Review
Лечащий врач
Even in elderly patients with chronic vascular disease, Novoskin demonstrates a rapid regenerative effect. Complete healing in 3 weeks is an excellent clinical outcome without complications.
