Overview
Isolating and Diverting Toxic Effluent May Help the Wound Heal
Managing patients with complex abdominal wounds can be a struggle. Particularly challenging are enteric or intestinal fistulas that drain into open abdominal wounds.
A published case series of patients treated with the Wound Crown® device found:
• Control of effluent is critical to protect the wound bed from the corrosive effects of bowel contents and to allow the surrounding wound bed to develop granulation tissue.
• Inability to control effluent often requires both specialized wound care personnel and prolonged inpatient hospitalization.

Are intended for use to isolate and divert effluent from enteroatmospheric fistulas, enterocutaneous fistulas, or an ostomy close to an incision.
