Recent clinical research shows significant improvement in healing-rates with haemoglobin spray as add-on therapy to standard care but did not fully explore expected implications for care. Method: Post-hoc analysis of data from the pivotal study and simulation to attempt to answer key questions on implications for care. Three questions are addressed: What treatment response rates were achieved early on in the treatment? What healing outcomes can be expected if projected forward? What are the overall wound-burden implications for patients and carers if similar impact is achieved in regular care? Results: Post hoc analysis of the trial data showed a 100% treatment response rate in the haemoglobin arm at 4 weeks vs a 48% treatment response rate in the standard care alone arm at the same time. Simulation results using linear regression predicts a 55% wound closure rate at 6 months in the haemoglobin arm, vs 4% in the s...

The aim of this article is to highlight strategies that could be used to treat chronic wounds containing biofilms. Antibiofilm agents, their modes of action and efficacy in suppressing biofilms are discussed.
