Chemical Burn after Colic Surgery
Dr. Katherine Fertig of Orange County Equine Manages Non-healing Chemical Burn with AniCell’s StemWrap Product Line
After a colic surgery in March at a non-affiliated surgical center, Annie, a quarter horse mare developed a non-healing wound on it’s back which appeared to be a chemical burn post surgery. After 6 months of traditional treatment and no change in the wound for 90 days, Dr. Fertig of OC Equine used the EquusCell StemWrap product on the wound to provide a bioscaffold to encourage epithelialization of this chronic wound.

Dr. Fertig used one EquusCell 5x5cm StemWrap and two vials of the SW-D that was injected in 8 locations around the wound margins to encourage epithelialization. She then placed a “tie-over” bandage by placing loop sutures around the wound to tie the bandage over the wound.

Twenty-eight days later, the open wound has shrunk by over 90.8%. The wound margins continuing to re-pigment showing a 24.6% reduction in wound size. Both the owner and Dr. Fertig are happy with the progress and will share upcoming pictures as well.
