Complex surgical wounds are generally left open to heal or until a viable wound bed is established that enables surgeons to achieve definitive closure (flap, graft, secondary intention).10
Healing is complicated by11-16:
After the operating room, bioburden management may be necessary to help mitigate the risk of complications in a variety of complex surgical wounds such as fasciotomies and more11:
Plastic surgery:
Preparation for split-thickness skin graft or flap procedure, pressure injuries, and degloving injuries
General surgery:
Surgical dehiscence, pressure injuries, and trauma wounds
Orthopedic surgery:
Open fractures and trauma wounds
Vascular surgery:
Venous leg ulcers and complex limb salvage

All open wounds are at risk of contamination—without proper control of bioburden, infection and/or biofilm may develop.17,21
Elevated bioburden can lead to biofilm, which may trigger inflammation that delays healing.17-20
Aggressive debridement is essential to remove bioburden and biofilm, but biofilm re-forms rapidly.17,22
PuraPly SX can be used adjunctly with PuraPly MZ.
PuraPly SX has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect within the product to control bioburden.1,7
PuraPly MZ, with micronized, native collagen matrix, optimizes contact with the wound bed and supports a healing environment.23,24
