[Use of gas flow with nitrogen oxide (NO-therapy) in combined treatment of purulent wounds].

NO-therapy was used in 40 patients with purulent wounds of soft tissues. Bacteriological, cytological and morphological examinations demonstrated acceleration of wound process compared with control group (40 patients without NO-therapy). Laser doppler flowmetry demonstrated significant improvement of microcirculation in wound zone during NO-therapy.

[Ozone-ultrasonic therapy in the treatment of purulent wounds].

Based on planimetric, bacteriologic and histologic study high efficiency of local ozonotherapy of wound in combination with low-frequency ultrasound was demonstrated experimentally on rat model of infected purulent skin wound. This method was used in 45 patients with purulent wounds of soft tissues (postoperative, posttraumatic, burn, sore spot) that led to fast cleaning of wound surface, decrease of bacterial contamination and granulations. It permitted to eliminate inflammation and to create optimum conditions for wound closure.
