[CLINICAL CASES-TREATED WITH TECHNOLOGY LIPID COLLOIDAL (TLC)]. / Casos clinicos tratados con La tecnologia lipido coloidal (TLC).

INTRODUCTION: This study presents clinical cases collecting etiologies that are more frequent in the field of complex wounds. All require a specific approach, as well as the interdisciplinary participation of different members of the team. But in general, established local cure plans may be quite similar. Applies them technology lipid colloidal (TLC) which consists of the combination of particles of hydrocolloid (carboxymethylcellulose) with lipid components. Products with a technology designed for every moment of healing. OBJECTIVE: Show our experience in the use of products with TLC in patients with ulcers of different etiologies. METHOD: The following products depending on the case have been used to treat: UrgoTul Absorb Border, Urgoclean (rope or plate), UrgoStart, UrgoK2 and UrgoK2 LITE. These products were applied in patients presenting four different etiologies of ulcer: hypertensive, traumatic, venous and ischemic ulcer. The use of Urgoclean rope favored cleaning the bed ulceral and applied Urgoclean plate with reinforced alginate to control the abundant exudates, with coverage of UrgoTul ABsorb Border. Once clean beds pass UrgoStart and at all times UrgoK2 bandage, cases that required compressive therapy. Intolerance to that kind of compression applied to patients presenting bandage UrgoK2 LITE (which tolerated without problem) which significantly reduced edema, favoring the control of exudate. Patients with ulcer of long evolution, at the start were reluctant to the application of new technologies, but after the first cures and sensing a good evolution, we get their confidence and commitment to the resolution. RESULTS: Are displayed clinical cases of different etiologic and personal contexts that an integral and interdisciplinary approach together with the application of products with TLC, managed to solve the problem. CONCLUSION: The materials used have been satisfactory in all cases, with a direct involvement in the resolution of lesions which carries a long unresolved, and in any of them, even with a diagnosis of poor prognosis. In the clinical practice of the wound care knowledge and research of new materials that improve the quality of life of patients, reducing the time evolution of the lesions is very important. Not to mention that education for the prevention of their health should be one of the objectives to prevent recurrences.

Casos clínicos tratados con la tecnología lípido coloidal (TLC) / Clinical cases treated with tecjnology lipid colloidal (TLC)

Introducción. En este estudio se exponen casos clínicos que recogen las etiologías más frecuentes en el campo de las heridas complejas. Todas requieren un abordaje específico, además de la participación interdisciplinar de diferentes miembros del equipo. Sin embargo, en general, los planes de cura locales establecidos pueden ser bastante similares. Se les aplica la tecnología lípido coloidal (TLC) que consiste en la combinación de partículas de hidrocoloide (carboximetilcelulosa) con componentes lipídicos. Son productos con una tecnología diseñada para cada momento de la cicatrización. Objetivo. Dar a conocer nuestra experiencia en la utilización de productos con TLC en pacientes con úlceras de diferentes etiologías. Método. Se han utilizado los siguientes productos dependiendo del caso que tratar: UrgoTul® Absorb Border, Urgoclean® (mecha o placa), UrgoStart®, UrgoK2® y UrgoK2 LITE®. Estos productos se aplicaron en pacientes que presentaban cuatro etiologías de úlcera diferentes: úlcera hipertensiva, traumática, venosa e isquémica (arterial). La utilización de Urgoclean® mecha favoreció la limpieza del lecho ulceral y se aplicó Urgoclean® placa con alginato reforzado para controlar los exudados abundantes, con cobertura de UrgoTul® Absorb Border. Una vez limpios los lechos, pasamos a UrgoStart® y usamos en todo momento vendaje UrgoK2®, en los casos que precisaban terapia compresiva. A los pacientes que presentaban intolerancia a ese tipo de compresión se les aplicó el vendaje UrgoK2 LITE® (que toleraron sin problema), lo que redujo notablemente el edema y favoreció el control del exudado. Los pacientes con heridas de larga evolución se mostraron al inicio reticentes a la aplicación de nuevas tecnologías, pero, trascurridas las primeras curas, y al percibir una buena evolución, confiaron y se adhirieron al tratamiento hasta la resolución. Resultados. Se muestran casos clínicos de diferentes contextos etiológicos y personales, de los que, con un abordaje integral e interdisciplinar, junto con la aplicación de productos con TLC, se consiguió resolver la problemática. Conclusión. Los materiales utilizados han sido satisfactorios en todos los casos, con una implicación directa en la resolución de las lesiones que conllevaban un largo tiempo sin resolver y, en alguno de ellos, incluso con un diagnóstico de mal pronóstico. En la práctica clínica del cuidado de las heridas es muy importante el conocimiento y la investigación de nuevos materiales que mejoren la calidad de vida de los pacientes y reduzcan el tiempo de evolución de las lesiones. Sin olvidar que la educación para la prevención de su salud debe ser uno de los objetivos para evitar las recidivas (AU)
