Case Series of Lower-Extremity Chronic Wounds Managed with an Antibacterial Foam Dressing Bound with Gentian Violet and Methylene Blue

An antibacterial foam dressing consisting of PVA foam bound with gentian violet and methylene blue showed encouraging results in a clinically challenging study population. This dressing may be a suitable option for lower-extremity chronic wounds demonstrating an increased superficial bacterial burden. Further investigation focused on identifying the characteristics of patients who are most responsive to the dressing is warranted.
