title: Treatment of a patient with a deep leg ulcer using Biatain Adhesive.
abstract: This article looks at the use of Biatain Adhesive, a new foam dressing from Coloplast which is manufactured by incorporating 3D polymer structures within the central pad. It is now available on the Drug Tariff. The article discusses the treatment of exuding wounds and highlights the benefits of Biatain Adhesive by focusing on the case of an 84-year-old woman who had a history of long-standing leg ulcers where previous dressings had failed to promote healing.
