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).
