[Healing of purulent wounds of soft tissues in local treatment]
Goals:
To improve results of treatment of patients with purulent wounds of soft tissues of various etiology and location.
Methods:
Developed method of local treatment was used in patients with purulent wounds of soft tissues. Efficacy of the treatment was evaluated with clinical, cytological, bacteriologic and bacterioscopic methods.
Results:
When proposed antibacterial drugs were used, cleaning of wounds in inflammatory phase procedea 2 times faster compared to local treatment with standard drugs. Collagen wound covering Lioplast promoted in phases of regeneration and epithelisation 1.5 times faster reparative processes in the wound and prevention of secondary contamination of the wound.
Conclusion:
This method permits to improve results of treatment and to shorten hospital stay of patients.
