Title: Lyrofoam
Post by: KICKSTART on May 10, 2007, 03:38:24 AM

Has any one used this ? Posted a while ago about having trouble with my exit site , all tests came back clear , so they put it down to trauma which has caused granulation , which in turn wont heal . Have just been given Lyrofoam to use to see if it helps , anyone used it , can you tell me how it went ?

Sorry Kickstart, havent heard of it, sorry your having problems, hope all is taken care of with this stuff and your healing begins.  See what i mean, if it aint one thing, its another, geeze.  Take care girlfriend, and keep us informed on how your exit site is doing, K? K!   ;)

Thanks , it seems it is some sort of wonder dressing. They are saying i have got some granulation and because of where it is , it might not heal , they used to use 'silver nitrate' to get rid of it at one time , but i have heard this hurts like hell!! So now there is this new foam dressing , which may help my site to heal, i am going to give it a try!
