Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this retrospective registry data analysis was to explore the effectiveness of a novel multivalent topical ointment (Terrasil Infection Control Wound Care Ointment; Aspiera Medical, Woonsocket, Rhode Island), containing a patented mineral complex and 0.2% benzethonium chloride in the treatment of nonhealing acute and chronic wounds. DESIGN: Aspiera Medical designed a registry to capture physician experiences and treatment results with Terrasil Infection Control Wound Care Ointment. Physicians were asked to enter deidentified patient data into an online registry. SETTING:
Wound clinics in the United States were asked to participate in the registry. PATIENTS: Physicians at 4 wound clinics treated 30 patients (26 of whom completed the treatment) with various chronic wounds that had persisted for an average of 6 months and entered treatment data into the registry. INTERVENTIONS: MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Physicians calculated each patient's percentage wound reduction at each visit. MAIN RESULTS: Thirty patients were entered into the registry. Pretreatment and posttreatment measurements were available for 26 of them. Patients achieved an average surface area reduction of 84% in a mean of 23 days' treatment. CONCLUSION:
