Title MAGGOTS; WHAT EFFECT DOES CONTAINMENT
OF MAGGOTS HAVE REGARDING THE EFFECTIVNESS OF TREATMENT AND TOLARANCE OF PATIENTS?
Author: Natalie Merrick Student nurse yr3
Declaration of interest: I have chosen to investigate this topic as I have only worked with one patient using lave therapy treatment (contained) and was often designated the task of redressing and watering the lave, this particular gentleman did not mind the therapy and referred to the lave as “his little friends” I could not help but wonder if he wound have been so compliant if they were loose in his wound and if this would have made any difference to the healing process.
