In this video, Dr. Suhail Mithani, an associate professor of Plastic and Orthopaedic Surgery, shares his experience at Duke University Medical Center, a multistate referral destination for limb salvage.
Due to limited access to the operating room and limitations of in-patient beds, Dr. Mithani and his peers are encouraged to move soft tissue reconstruction cases to outpatient setting or ambulatory settings whenever possible.
“This is where I use acellular dermal matrices in my clinical practice,” he says, “to be able to take wounds that would have otherwise been flap patients with in-patient stays and convert them to outpatient that we can fit into our elective practice.”
Watch this 10-minute video of 3 extremity trauma cases to learn:
-
- When and why Dr. Mithani uses PriMatrix Ag, an acellular dermal matrix containing ionic silver
- His experience achieving re-epithelialization without skin grafts
- His approach to contaminated wound beds
Indications
PriMatrix® Ag Antimicrobial is intended for the management of wounds that include: partial and full thickness wounds; pressure, diabetic, and venous ulcers; second-degree burns; surgical wounds—donor sites/grafts, post-Mohs surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence; trauma wounds —abrasions, lacerations, and skin tears; tunneled/undermined wounds; draining wounds.
Contraindications
PriMatrix® Ag Antimicrobial should not be used for patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to silver, collagen, or bovine products. This device is not indicated for use in third-degree burns.
Warning
PriMatrix® Ag should be used with caution in regions where an infection exists or is suspected. Treat any existing infection appropriately. Silver-containing compounds are known to cause a condition known as argyria, a silver-induced darkening of the skin. Frequent use of PriMatrix Ag Antimicrobial may result in skin discoloration.
