USE OF COMBINATION OF VITAMIN D POWDER WITH GENTAMYCIN INJECTION IN MANAGEMENT OF NON-HEALING WOUNDS: A CASE REPORT

Non-healing wounds are wounds that fail to heal without external or internal intervention and which fail to show signs of healing progress beyond a particular stage of healing(1). It has been observed in studies that these types of wounds become arrested in the inflammatory stage of healing(2.9) and fail to progress beyond this stage on their own. In recent times, the incidences of these types of wounds have increased due to various circumstances, one of which is ignorance due to the high cost of medicine and treatment of the same(3,4). The causative factor for these wounds needs to be identified so as to effectively manage these in the best possible manner and at the least possible time with the least cost of treatment to the patient.Various guidelines have been issued and implemented on the management of chronic non-healing wounds that range from basic wound care to the most advanced wound dressings under hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
