Fungating wounds with the associated malodour, disfigurement, and discharge are distressing to patients and caregivers, and are a leading cause for hospice admission in our centre.
Although many new wound care materials and dressings have been developed,[1] most are very expensive. Essentially, dressings for fungating wounds need to contain the wound, drainage and odour thus reducing social isolation and improving quality of life. Over the past ten years in Jeevodaya hospice we have used low cost methods for m***ging fungating wounds and discharge.
These are outlined below.
