Case Series/Study
Discussion: The presence of high bioburden levels and pH levels in wounds has been proven to delay wound healing and significantly affect wound healing rates. The use of the Detec pH device allows monitoring of wound pH changes without contact with the wound. Citrus Silver foam supplementation alongside standard care demonstrated reductions in pH in wounds. In this series of 10 patients, adding a citrus silver foam to the standard of care led to observable reductions in the level of bacterial loads and change in the pH level in chronic diabetic wounds. Ten patients were enrolled with chronic ulcerations (DFUs, VLUs, which had not begun healing after 4 weeks of treatment. Wounds were instilled with citrus silver foam. Measurements of pH, size of wound, and SP O2 were taken at each of the four patient visits. Standard of care wound treatment were administered during the course of the citrus silver treatment. Additional treatments with citrus silver foam were administered as needed by home caregiver, patient or other medical professionals if the need existed It was applied daily or at least with each dressing change. Wound alkalinity was determined using wound Detec pH methods. Discussion: Prescence of high bioburden levels and pH levels in wounds has been proven to delay wound healing and have a significant negative effect on wound healing rates. The use of the Detec pH device allows monitoring of wound pH changes without contact with the wound. Citrus Silver foam supplementation alongside standard care demonstrated reductions in pH in wounds. In this series of 10 patients, the addition of a citrus silver foam to standard of care led to observable reductions in the level of bacterial loads and change the pH level in chronic diabetic wounds.
