  • Title: Treatment of stingray injury with topical becaplermin gel.
    Author: Baldinger PJ.
    Journal: J Am Podiatr Med Assoc; 1999 Oct; 89(10):531-3. PubMed ID: 10546426.
    Abstract:
    Stingray injuries are most commonly characterized by localized pain, ulceration, and edema; however, potentially serious sequelae may result, including tissue necrosis and life-threatening infection. This case report describes a stingray injury that had progressed to ulceration and was treated with topical application of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (becaplermin gel 0.01%) and a standardized regimen of wound care.
