“My patient has a stage 4 sacral pressure injury with chronic refractory osteomyelitis. His regimen over the past 30 days has included antibiotics, serial wound debridement, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, topical wound bed cleanser, daily multivitamin, and Juven* supplements twice daily.
“A 75-year-old male patient was transferred to our facility with partial- and full-thickness thermal facial burns. Initial evaluation showed his wounds had areas of loosely adherent fibrinous slough and moderate exudate. The patient had adherent wet scabs on the perioral, nasal, and peri-orbital areas. In addition to conventional burn wound care dressings, we placed the patient on our nutritional supplementation protocol which included Juven* administered through a feeding tube.
We observed significant improvement in wound sizes, exudate, percentage of fibrinous slough, biofilm, and epithelization over the eight weeks after starting Juven compared to the period prior to his transfer. The addition of Juven contributed immensely to the favorable wound healing in this case and we recommend it be considered as an adjunct in managing complex burn wounds.”
This male patient fell within the age range of 70+. healthcare professional in charge was a medical doctor.
