I worked in medicine for over a decade, I can confirm the use of maggots from sterile breeding programs and the effectiveness of wild maggots because I've documented it myself. If I had such a necrotic wound I would trust maggots implicitly and be thankful for them.

Would you mind explaining a bit more about the wild maggots part?
I wonder if this is something that could be used in a scarcity scenario, benefit vs risk of infection, etc..
