Usefulness of Pyoktanin for the Treatment of Refractory Decubitus

We assessed the clinical efficacy of Pyoktanin® in the treatment of refractory decubitus accompanied by MRSA infection in the orthopedic ward of Chugoku Rosai General Hospital. The subjects were 5 patients with refractory decubitus in whom disinfection with povidone-iodine had been ineffective. Two patients were cured of their decubitus and in the 3 others the decubitus was reduced. None of the patients developed skin damage.
