The healing journey can be long and painful, especially for those suffering from chronic wounds. Wounds that refuse to heal despite receiving medical attention can be frustrating and debilitating, causing patients to lose hope in their recovery process. However, thanks to the introduction of BluLyte Wound Care, healing is now within reach for many of those dealing with this issue.
Blood clots in his leg
Gabriel Greeff’s story is a prime example of how BluLyte Wound Care can make a life-changing difference. After contracting Covid in June 2021, Gabriel realised that there was a problem with his left leg after noting that his foot remained cold, no matter the circumstances. A Doppler ultrasound revealed that blood flow in his leg had been severely affected by blood clots, and he required surgery to remove them. Unfortunately, due to the blood clots, most of the necessary blood vessels in his lower leg had been lost, drastically reducing blood flow and slowing his body’s ability to heal the post-surgery wound.
A wound that just did not want to heal
In August 2021, Gabriel underwent three skin grafts to help close the wound, but his lower leg did not accept the skin due to the lack of blood circulation. As a result, the graft site became infected and the wound refused to heal. Gabriel enlisted the help of a wound care nurse to assist with a wound care treatment plan. Despite undergoing treatment for nine months, he still did not see the desired progress.
Special wound cleaning process
In March 2022, Gabriel’s treatment plan changed when he was introduced to BluLyte Wound Care. At the start of every new dressing, the wound care nurse applied BluLyte Wound Care as a wound cleaner to debride the wound and remove any biofilm that may have built up before continuing with the wound dressing.
Immediate results
The inclusion of BluLyte Wound Care had almost immediate effects. The wound care solution was able to help fight the infection in his lower leg while cleaning the open wound, soothe the inflamed skin, and encourage cell turnover.
Finally infection-free
By October 2022, Gabriel’s leg wound had drastically improved, with most of the damage healed, but his leg still showed some signs of infection in the form of small lesions that were struggling to recover. He was given another bottle of BluLyte Wound Care, the only wound care product he used on his leg from this point onwards. By December 2022, the wound was completely free from infection. Gabriel says, “Thank you to BluLyte, what an awesome product. After 18 months I was able to swim and shower again.”
Innovative wound care products
Gabriel is a testament to the power of innovative wound care products in aiding patients’ healing journey. BluLyte products contain hypochlorous acid, an antimicrobial molecule produced by the body’s immune system to fight infection and aid the healing process. It also assists in killing odour-producing microbes, soothes irritated and inflamed skin, and speeds up cell turnover, which leads to faster wound healing.
