Abstract

Posttraumatic and postoperative infective wounds that progress to chronic wounds can pose serious problem for the traumatized patient with reduced biological potential for healing. Also, due to the need for specific and individual approach to such a patient, they represent a challenge for physicians. The use of topical hemoglobin spray (Granulox®) with protective and supportive local action ensures and improves physiological conditions for healing, thus providing additional possibilities for adequate and safe healing of complicated infected wounds.
