The case was that of a 39-year-old female who presented to the emergency department 8 days after being involved in a motor vehicle accident, which had caused a severe disruption of the soft tissue architecture of the left face associated with a malodorous septic wound consisting of loose bone fragments, grass, pieces of glass, stone, and sand [Figure 1].

This dressing has been demonstrated to remove exudate, debris, bacteria, biofilm, and cytokines deleterious to wound healing. The Drawtex dressing was initially changed daily and the frequency was decreased as the wound improved [Figures 2a-d and 3a-c].
