My husband had a 2” deep 3”long 1” wide wound on his leg. He used a machine called a wound vacuum to speed up the healing. Don't know if this has been suggested for you or not but it really worked for him.

I’ve heard of a wound vac but they haven’t tried that yet. They’re now trying a compression dressing and they included a couple of special water absorption pads. They’re supposed to hold up to a cup of water each. Hoping it works.

Did you ever hear of the TENS used in pain control and healing?

That’s interesting. I use those types of bandages for a deep wound. As fluid presses against the bandage, the bandage pushes back.

Darn things are expensive but came in handy two years ago.

No one has called in the Maggot Team to clean out the wound?
