In my opinion, a wound which is undermined is not stable enough to receive a CTP. This should be debrided and packed with a surgical dressing until the undermining or tunneling has resolved.
The current policies in my opinion, do not also allow for CTP products to be folded over (double thickness). They are to be used to cover and secured to the wound bed.
Thus I believe the amount use to “stuff” into a wound cavity which is being undermined or a folded over to increase the amount used, would not be supported by the current or future LCD.
Great follow up question.

I look forward to the opinions of others.
