Maximising the secondary beneficial effects of larval debridement therapy
Journal of Wound Care, 2013Laboratory-based clinical investigations have shown that maggots and their secretions promote, among other activities, fibroblast motogenesis and angiogenesis. These events would contribute to re-granulation if translated to the wound environment. Maggot secretions also have ascribed antibacterial actions and may exhibit anti-inflammatory effects ...

The use of larval therapy in wound management in the UK
Journal of Wound Care, 1999This study identifies hospitals and institutions in the UK using larval therapy, and determines how this therapy is clinically managed in 23 of them. A qualitative approach was adopted, with the collection of documentary evidence and data from semi-structured interviews. Larval therapy is currently used in over 350 hospitals and institutions in the UK

The cost effectiveness of larval therapy in venous ulcers
Journal of Tissue Viability, 2000The treatment of necrotic ulcers involves considerable nursing time and expense. The current standard treatment involves repeated application of hydrogels. Larval debridement therapy (LDT) has been shown anecdotally to clear ulcers of necrotic slough but has never been compared directly with 'modern' therapies. The aim of this study has been to compare

The benefits of larval therapy in wound care
Nursing Standard, 2004This article discusses the role of larval therapy as an alternative to conventional treatment for acute or chronic wounds that respond poorly to conventional treatment (Courtenay 1999). Although not suitable for all wound types, this treatment is versatile and safe to use in hospitals and community settings (Davies 2004). In certain clinical situations,
