Summary

Malodours are a common complication of chronic wounds. They are the result of the proliferation of aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms on the wound surface, where they metabolize healthy tissue which leads to the production of sloughy and even necrotic tissue. Wound odour has a big impact on the quality of life of patients.

Currently the standard of care for the management of malodourous wounds are systemic antibiotics, absorbent wound dressings with or without activated carbon and, topical antimicrobials. The application of topical antimicrobials such as antiseptics against wound odour is part of the standard care. One suggested antiseptic in a recent published standard is Octenilin®. There is ample anecdotal evidence about the efficacy of Octenilin® in reducing wound odour. Therefore, we propose here to document this ability by evaluating the odour of wounds washed with Octenilin® versus standard care (NaCl 0.9% solution).

Conditions

  • Wound
  • Wound Heal

Interventions

OTHER

Use of Ocetnilin

Visits to the outpatient wound-care centre as directed by a physician. Wound care performed by the respective study nurse according to the study-protocol. Each dressing change will be the same and will be as follows: * Removal of old dressing * Applying a soaked gaze with Octenilin® on the wound (5 minutes) * Mechanical debridement if necessary * Wound cleansing with Octenilin® * Application of new dressing (according to the wound healing phases, medical prescription)
