ABSTRACT

Traumatic injuries are highly susceptible to infection in both civilian and military settings. Early application of wound dressings that are simple, field-portable, and effective in infection prevention is critical to minimizing complications for rapid healing. Presented here is a case study where an active duty Service Member sustained a partial thickness burn to the mid back when an ejected brass cartridge became trapped under the person’s clothing during a training event. He was treated by his unit’s medic using KeriCure Medical’s Field Shield^® Wound Dressing, a spray on topical hydrogel wound barrier containing antimicrobial silver and anesthetic lidocaine. Field Shield was applied daily for 5 days, then twice in week 2.

The burn completely healed within 14 days, with favorable cosmetic outcomes. Patient noted no pain or discomfort with use of Field Shield in burn management. Total product use was limited to less than half of the 0.5oz bottle of Field Shield (approx. $17.50 total wound dressing cost). Field Shield^® provided antimicrobial protection, pain relief, and accelerated healing for the small partial thickness burn wound that resulted from a discharged brass cartridge. These findings underscore the value of antimicrobial wound care for minor injuries and burns in promoting rapid healing, preventing infection, and sustaining Service Member health and operational readiness.
