  • Title: Management of a Groin Wound Using a Concentrated Surfactant-Based Gel Dressing.
    Author: Ratliff CR.
    Journal: J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs; 2018; 45(5):465-467. PubMed ID: 30086104.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A groin wound associated with a vascular graft infection is associated with significant morbidity. Management of groin wounds is often challenging due to their anatomical location that renders them difficult to visualize and keep clean. CASE: This case report describes the use of a concentrated surfactant-based gel dressing for an infected groin wound. CONCLUSIONS: Because of their location and complex topography, groin wounds are difficult to keep clean and maintain dressing integrity. This case study describes the use of a concentrated surfactant-based gel dressing that remained in place and promoted healing of an infected groin wound.
