Abstract
In this case, the necrotic tissue was so hard it was not possible to categorise the ulcer. Octenilin products were able to debride the necrotic tissue, so that the wound depth could be determined. After 4 weeks, the wound was covered with granulation tissue, improving the patient's quality of life.
