For Nursejudy:

 

After obtaining medical advice, it was explained to me that only ulcers of 4 or more feet in diameter are suitable for the grub due it's voratious appetite.

[nursejudy]

are we talking about elephant ulcers now!!!!

 

Hell I would need a long bandage and an awful lot of sticky tape!!!!!!!

 

 

The sterile maggots come from Cardiff

as far as i know the only place that breeds/grows them.

lovely programme

 

the natural wound healing process would kick in Chesters,you could pack the hole with an alginate made from seaweed which we use all the time,the new tissue comes up from underneath,so you need less and less packing untill it will have filled uop to the top.What you do not want is for the hole to heal across the top leaving the hole underneath. Hope thats clear.
