[Control of the re-epithelialization of skin defects and burns]

In an experimental study an attempt was made to compare the effect of the tetrachlorodekaoxygen anion complex (TCDO) with an aqueous KCl/CaCl2 solution of a defined molar concentration in hydrogel on the basis of skin defects, irradiated skin defects, and necrectomized burns of the skin of the back of naked euthymic guinea pigs. The wound healing of the irradiated skin defects and the necrectomized burns was found to be generally delayed. The use of the Kcl/CaCl2 solution in hydrogel, however, brought about a faster repair of the defects than the application of TCDO.
