Single case using CoFlex TLC with Malodour Control over a gelling-fibre dressing; the wound was still healing at the time of the poster.
Key findings

- The foam layer with cyclodextrin managed the odour, which had been the patient’s biggest concern; patient and staff noted improved odour and exudate control.
- From the first application the patient could wear her own footwear and reported the bandage as comfortable, helping relieve wound pain.
- No bandage slippage was seen during the case study.
- The patient returned to work and the wound continued to improve.
