Study

Valeros B. Presented at The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care, San Diego, CA. 2005.

Background

Venous disease and leg ulcers are often accompanied by skin problems caused by venous hypertension and edema such as venous dermatitis. Patients frequently complain about skin tenderness, pain and burning as a result. The skin may present as erythematous and weeping or dry and scaly.

An elderly male with a 10-year history of venous hypertension, open ulcerations and venous dermatitis was evaluated. Denuded, damaged skin is often a problem with individuals having poor peripheral circulation.

Objective

To evaluate a new advanced skin protectant that offered endermic nutrition in addition to superior barrier properties.

Methodology

Remedy Calazime Skin Protectant was applied 3 times per week to one patient under multi-layer compression bandages. This continued until the study concluded 3 weeks later.

Results

Within one week, a dramatic improvement in the appearance of the skin and a noticeable decrease in the degree of erythema to the lower extremities was noted. The patient expressed relief from pain and discomfort. The skin was clear within three weeks.

Impact

Results suggest that Remedy Calazime Protectant Paste may be useful in the relief of symptoms of denuded skin.
