Abstract
Deep-space infection of the hand can be associated with a varying degree of morbidity. Management will always start with an incision and drainage of the affected hand, followed by appropriate intravenous antibiotic therapy and mobilisation of the joint post-operatively. In order to achieve a good outcome, wound bed preparation is vital as the first stage of wound healing. Ovine Tendon Collagen (OTC) can be a new alternative source of collagen that can be used as a bio scaffold for skin defect coverage.
