OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of electrolyzed
oxidizing water (EOW) and hydrocolloid occlusive dressings in the acceleration
of epithelialization in excised burn<wounds in rats.
METHODS: Each of the anesthetized Sprague<Dawley
rats (n=28) was subjected to a third<degree burn that covered approximately
10% of the total body surface area. Rats were assigned into four groups:
Group I (no irrigation), Group II (irrigation with
physiologic saline), Group III (irrigation with EOW) and Group IV (hydrocolloid
occlusive dressing after EOW irrigation). Wounds were observed macroscopically
until complete epithelialization was present, then the epithelialized wounds
were examined microscopically. RESULTS: Healing of the burn wounds was the
fastest in Group IV treated with hydrocolloid occlusive dressing together with
EOW. Although extensive regenerative epidermis was seen in each Group, the
proliferations of lymphocytes and macrophages associated with dense collagen
deposition were more extensive in Group II, III and IV than in Group I. These
findings were particularly evident in Group III and IV.
CONCLUSIONS: Wound Healing may be accelerated by applying a hydrocolloid occlusive
dressing on burn surfaces after they are cleaned with electrolyzed oxidating
water.
