Results show:

  • Having failed multiple other advanced wound care treatment modalities these three patients received conservative management using cTOT.
  • This treatment algorithm resulted in positive healing trajectories in all three patients.
  • Additionally, all patients relayed a decrease in wound pain with the use of cTOT.
  • Leveraging cTOT in an outpatient setting resulted in the complete closure of these refractory radiation wounds with an average time to complete epithelialization of 3.6 weeks.
