Study:
Demonstrate the efficacy of an Vulnamin spray in the prevention of pressure ulcers in comparison with silver spray powder.
Design:
500patients at risk of developing bedsores (with Nortonscore<12):
- Group A (250 patients) was treated with silver spray
- Group B(250 patients) with Vulnamin Spray
Measurements:
- Local oxygen saturimetry before and after the treatment to analyze the eventual perfusional variation, using a brilliance oxygen saturimeter.
- Appearance of “blanchable” and/or “not blanchable”erythema in areas.
Results on 500 patients enrolled divided into two groups of 250 each
Group A
- 59.6% of patients worsened
- 1 out of 4 had no result
- only 15% of them improved
Group B
- 85.2% of patients improved
- 11 patients worsened
- 25 showed no change
