Hypochlorous acid in a double formulation (liquid plus gel) is a key prognostic factor for healing and absence of infection in chronic ulcers. A nonrandomized concurrent treatment study.

Background And Aims: Diverse protocols prevent infection and/or improve ulcer epithelialization. protocols tend to antagonize the risk factors that the chronicity of this type of wound. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is used to treat ulcers and wounds because of its antiseptic and noncytotoxic properties.

Synergistic effect of two formulations of hypochlorous acid in the treatment of 346 chronic ulcers.

Our objective was to assess the efficacy of two successive applications of hypochlorous acid, first as a liquid and then as a gel because liquid hypochlorous acid is effective but has little residual effect, while the gel form has more residual power, and compare it with that of other products. An experimental non-randomised study was carried out, treating 346 chronic ulcers in 220 patients. The antiseptic treatment has been divided into 'hypochlorous acid' (Clortech), 'hypochlorous acid liquid + gel' (Clortech + Microdacyn60 -hydrogel) and 'Others' (Prontosan or Chlorhexidine or Microdacyn60 -hydrogel).
