Wound Management Case Study

on ASAP OTC and Armor Gel

Subject: Male, 22 months old

Wound Size: Approx. 2 cm. long and 0.75 cm. deep

Wound Location: Forehead

Product Used: ASAP OTC/Armor Gel (Gel)

Wound Management Protocol: The patient’s wound was cleaned and sutured by an emergency room physician. Bacitracin was applied topically to the wound, and it was covered with a bandage at the hospital. The Bacitracin was replaced with Gel upon the subject’s return home. The Gel was then reapplied every time the bandage was changed, which ranged from 1 to 4 times per day (frequency variance was due to the subject’s age and tendency to remove the bandage). The sutures were removed by a physician on day 5. A bandage and Gel were still used to cover the wound through day 9. After day 9, only Gel was used on the wound.
