Summary
A Czech survey of 237 patients with acute and chronic wounds irrigated with a superoxidized, neutral electrolyzed solution found 55% healed by week 12, with no comparison group.
Key points
- 237 patients from 81 facilities were followed for 12 weeks; common wounds were venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers.
- 28% healed by week 9 and 55% by week 12.
- With no comparison group, the authors note there is no baseline for typical healing times.
- Current guidelines do not recommend any particular irrigation solution because the evidence is low in quality.
- A manufacturer-run, observational survey of one product (DebriEcaSan Alfa).
