Abstract:
The article analyzes results of treatment of 338 patients with abscesses, phlegmons and purulent wounds. A comparative investigation of treatment of 173 patients by traditional incisive-draining methods and 165 patients treated by using vacuum therapy by the method proposed by the authors was made. The advantages of vacuum therapy were shown in the acceleration of reparative processes and in shortening the time of treatment.

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
As used in a healthcare facility, sterilization destroys all microorganisms through physical or chemical methods. The physical method includes steam, dry heat, boiling water, and radiation.
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...
