Buruli ulcer (BU) is a tropical, infectious skin disease. The resulting ulcer can
take a long time to heal, and a high standard of wound care is essential.
Currently, the only dressing used for BU wound care is gauze, and its removal
causes pain and bleeding. We performed a pilot implementation project using
HydroTac(®) (HARTMANN, Heidenheim, Germany), a modern dressing combining foam
with a hydrogel component. For future BU treatment, we recommend to use a more
absorbent dressing than the HydroTac dressing used in the current project.
However, we show that modern dressings can be applied to BUs and that HydroTac
dressings yield clean, healing wounds, and prevent the pain and bleeding
associated with gauze dressings. Wound care is a vital but to date neglected
aspect of BU management.
