TLDR PHMB products improve wound healing and quality of life.
This review of 38 case studies involving 56 chronic lower limb ulcers treated with PHMB products (Prontosan® Solution, Prontosan® Wound Gel X, and Prontosan® Debridement Pad) found that 36 of the case studies reported wound healing or improvement. The study highlights that these treatments not only enhance wound healing but also significantly improve quality of life (QoL) outcomes, including reductions in malodour, slough, and exudate, as well as improvements in pain, mobility, hair growth, antibiotic intake, return to work, social life, and mood.
