Trophic ulcers of the shin and foot
Before Novoskin
— Ulcer defects with fibrinous coating and inflamed edges
— No healing for 2 years
Treatment stages
Ulcer defects were debrided: fibrin was removed and wound edges were treated. Novoskin dressing was applied to the granulating surfaces of both the shin and foot. Dressing changes were performed every 7–10 days. After the first change, pain decreased and granulation tissue grew actively. Complete epithelialization of both wounds was achieved within 3 weeks without skin grafting.

Novoskin showed pronounced regenerative properties even in chronic trophic ulcers. After the first dressing change the patient reported pain relief and visible improvement—an excellent outcome after a two-year history without healing.
