[Experimental substantiation of the early use of applied sorption in treating wounds]

In the experiments on rabbits with bilateral musculocutaneous wound of a thigh, it is shown that the early use of the "Dnepr MN" activated carbon fibrous material (ACFM) intended for medical purposes provides timely haemostasis in the damaged tissues, reduces blood loss, prevents the development of traumatic edema, decreases the intensity of inflammatory process in a wound, facilitates rapid and uncomplicated healing of wounds under the artificial crust. The treatment-and-prophylactic effectiveness of ACFM is associated with its ability for rapid and irreversible sorption of biologically active substances forming in the wound tissues, and as well with protection of a wound against secondary infection.
