Abstract
Bacteriologic studies were made of 33 chronic leg ulcers in 20 adult patients before and after treatment with Debrisan. All ulcers, whether or not clinically inflamed, are secondarily infected. Most ulcers grew more than 1 type of organism.sbd.up to 6 different types in 1 single ulcer. The use of Debrisan reduces the types of organisms and colony counts in ulcers, allowing healthy granulation epithelialization to proceed normally. By reducing types of organisms and colony counts in chronic leg ulcers, successful skin grafting was readily achieved.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
