A round wound at the site of a mastectomy scar that stayed open instead of closing, its bed covered with dead tissue and fibrinous discharge. In the first session the wound was assessed and its bed debrided to remove the dead tissue and discharge; by the following session the wound bed is clean and its edges are well defined. This patient's treatment at Dialine is ongoing.
