I first saw this technique in the movie Gladiator. I was impressed by the simplicity of it. It makes sense. Maggots eat away the dead tissue while leaving the enzymes behind to speed up the healing.

I think you have it wrong.

The maggots spit out the enzymes on to the decaying flesh. The enzymes liquefy the tissue. The maggots then consume the liquid.

This removes the decaying tissue that is an environment for bacterial growth.

wounds that are not readily healing

Okay, I'm not doctor or anything but if my wounds weren't healing fast enough, I would run not walk to the nearest endocrinologist.

Applying maggot goo to a wound seems more like a band-aid as opposed to having your Thymus and Lymph glands checked.
