I’m familiar with a Wound Vac - cousin of mine ended up on one after having a significant amount of flesh removed, down to his shin bone, due to one of those “flesh eating” infections. He was very close to losing his leg from the knee down.
If the puncture needs “cleaning out” & they have to go in & remove infected flesh, then maybe a Wound Vac would be something appropriate. The puncture site was looking the best it’s looked this evening when his bandage was changed so fingers crossed he’s turning the corner. Leg swelling is down a bit ... still pretty red, but the area has not increased in size/spread.
Thanks for the suggestion - appreciate it and I’ll definitely keep it in mind. Glad you were helped and healed up fairly quickly considering how extensive the surgery was on your foot!
Is the puncture wound being Packed so it can heal from the inside outward ?
I had the choice of amputation of the Foot or trying the scraping out. I told Doc let’s try the scrape 1st. That was like 4 years ago.
Prayers for a clean and speedy healing of the puncture wound.
