Objective: Blue light (410-430nm) has been suggested to be effective in the healing process of hard-to-heal wounds. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis.
Method: This single-centre observational study assessed the efficacy of photobiomodulation with blue light (120 seconds at a distance of 4cm from the wound bed once a week for four weeks) in activating healing in patients with hard-to-heal skin lesions (mean duration 23.

Objective: Immediately following a two-year prospective case series in which the wounds of 60 patients with hard-to-heal ulcers were treated with a hypochlorous acid oxidising solution (AOS) in addition to standard of care (SoC) for 70 days (T0-T70), a subset of 31 patients (51.7%) whose wounds had not fully healed by T70 opted to continue with treatment for a further 22 weeks (days T70-T224, a total treatment time of 32 weeks (224 days). The objective was to provide long-term evidence on the clinical performance and safety of AOS when used in association with the usual SoC in patients with stalled, hard-to-heal ulcers of various aetiologies.

Objective: Chronic ulcers are an intractable problem in many patients and are associated with impaired quality of life and high health-care costs. In an attempt to improve outcome, our centre began cleansing wounds with a novel spray acidoxidising solution (Nexodyn) with unique physicochemical features, pH <3.0; oxidation reduction potential >1000mV; and free chlorine content (>95% HClO).
