Conservative management of a non-healing burn wound located on the right foot of a 66-year-old diabetic patient. The wound area was managed conservatively at the Concord Hospital Burns Unit using conventional methods for 19 weeks with negligible improvement. After 19 weeks, Bioptron Light Therapy commenced. The use of Wound gel and dressing was continued during this time in conjunction with the Light Therapy using the Compact BIOPTRON lamp. This treatment resulted in the closure of the wound 15.5 weeks after commencement of Light Therapy.
