Patient History

Patient is a 51-year-old male who presented to the emergency room with necrotizing fasciitis of the lateral right foot. The patient has a past medical history of diabetes mellitus.

Treatment

Patient was taken to the operating room for surgical debridement to remove any infected/necrotic tissue followed by application of Restrata® Meshed to the surgical wound.* The patient received a singular application of Restrata Meshed at time of debridement.

Conclusion

Over the next 15 weeks, a healthy bed of granulation tissue was formed throughout the soft-tissue defect. As Restrata continued to resorb into the wound bed, wound surface area decreased as re-epithelialization occurred. By week 15, full closure was achieved via secondary intention, noting zero complications throughout the healing process.
