Prosthetist Recommended
“JT is a 55-year-old male who sustained severe injuries to his lower leg as the result of a work-related injury in 2004. Following several operations, he ultimately underwent a below-knee amputation and was fitted with a BKA prosthesis. Over the intervening years he suffered from significant, chronic dermal infections to his residual limb that required extensive periods of antibiotic therapy, surgical debridement and inability to use his prosthesis. The cultures from the debridements were positive for Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. The patient was started on Apocrine applied to the liners once every 2 weeks in early 2018. When last seen in October 2018, he had not had a reoccurrence of folliculitis or hidradenitis and his skin appeared to be smooth, supple, and without any evidence of inflammation.”
