Background: The removal of necrotic tissue from chronic wounds is required for wound healing to occur. Hydrodebridement (jet lavage) and superoxidized aqueous solution have been independently used for debriding wounds. We sought to investigate the use of superoxidized aqueous solution with a jet lavage system.
Methods: Twenty patients with diabetic foot ulcers were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive jet lavage debridement with either superoxidized aqueous solution or standard saline weekly.
Results: There was no significant difference between the two treatments in the reduction of bacterial load or wound size in 4 weeks. No adverse reactions were reported for either treatment.
Conclusions: The use of superoxidized aqueous solution for jet lavage debridement seemed to be as safe and effective as saline. Future investigations should concentrate on whether superoxidized aqueous solution may reduce the bacterial air contamination associated with hydrodebridement.

Background: Electrolyzed strongly acidic aqueous solution which is produced by electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution has been used in Japan for the irrigation of wounds or body cavities even in the absence of particular evidence.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy or harmful effects of the disinfectant when applied before wound closure in colorectal surgery.
Design: We performed a prospective, randomized study.
