Aims: The aim of the current study was to assess the clinical efficacy of the FlaxAid dressing for the treatment of chronic venous wounds in a patient unresponsive to previous treatment protocols. Presentation of Case: A 50-year old male patient presented with recurrent venous ulcers of the lower extremities. All of the ulcers had lasted for 5 years and their size was increasing despite clinically relevant local therapy. FlaxAid dressing were applied to the wound area in three stages consisting of FlaxAid dressings wetted with: isotonic salt solution; oil emulsion; and seedcake extract. Discussion and Conclusion: After 12 weeks of therapy with the newly developed FlaxAid bandages, all of the patient’s ulcers had been cured. After 6 months of follow-up, the sites of the patient’s ulcers were found to still be in a healthy state.
