PROCEDURE NOTE:  The patient was prepped in sterile fashion with Betadine.  He was given 1 cc of 2% Lidocaine without epinephrine for anesthesia.  A sterile glove and prep was used throughout.  He did have a #11 blade incise approximately ½ inch wound with a large amount of pus.  This was drained and loculations were also broken up and drained.  He tolerated the procedure well without complication.  He was packed with approximately 4 cm of Iodoform gauze, which is ½ inch.  He tolerated this well.  Sterile dressing as well as KLING was placed on this.  He was advised to strictly keep this dry until tomorrow when he is reevaluated.

Hydrocolloid dressings. Used for leg ulcers, minor burns, pressure sores and traumatic injuries, these self-adhesive dressings form a gel as they absorb fluid from the wound. They consist of materials such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose (an absorbent), pectin, and gelatin that are attached to a foam sheet or a thin polyurethane film.
