Ah, but for the slant of the story, eh?

A different viewpoint on the same data would say that, other than increased pain, maggots are JUST AS GOOD at this as modern techniques.

From this bit (http://www.medcompare.com/spotlight.asp?spotlightid=158): "It’s important to keep in mind though that hydrogel dressings are not very absorptive, and therefore may not be the appropriate choice for moderate to highly exudating wounds." - it might actually mean there are certain cases where maggots may be a wiser choice.
