Pressurised irrigation versus swabbing method in cleansing wounds healed by secondary intention: A randomised controlled trial with cost-effectiveness analysis

摘要

Background: Wound cleansing should create an optimal healing environment by removing excess debris, exudates, foreign and necrotic material which are commonly present in the wounds that heal by secondary intention. At present, there is no research evidence for whether pressurised irrigation has better wound healing outcomes compared with conventional swabbing practice in cleansing wound.
