Despite negative press, most plastic surgeons continue to use Edinburgh University Solution of Lime (Eusol) for wound management. Supply issues prevent some from using this traditional wound care product.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Wound Management
Antiseptics

Background:

Numerous wound care products exist.
Edinburgh University Solution of Lime (Eusol) faces scrutiny in wound management.
Surgeon practices regarding Eusol use require investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the current usage of Eusol among consultant plastic surgeons.
To understand the reasons behind Eusol's continued use or discontinuation.

Main Methods:

A survey was distributed to 124 consultant plastic surgeons.
Response rate was 77% (95 surgeons).
Data collected on Eusol usage patterns and reasons.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

82% (78 surgeons) of respondents still use Eusol.

9 out of 17 non-users cited supply procurement issues.

Eusol remains in use for specific plastic surgery applications.

Conclusions:

Edinburgh University Solution of Lime (Eusol) is still utilized by a significant majority of plastic surgeons.
Availability challenges impact the use of Eusol.
Plastic surgeons continue to find specific indications for Eusol in their practice.
