Abstract:
A prospective observational study was conducted by the Brothier laboratory in partnership with sixteen home hospitalisation services (HAD), including the HAD of the Fondation Santé Service. It focused on the use of Algostéril® in the treatment of stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers in combination with the preventive measures implemented by the HADs. After eight weeks, it showed a significant reduction in the surface area (55 %) and volume (63 %) of pressure ulcers in 82 patients with an average age of 80.

There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
