Usage of portable thermo-spray device for treatment of wounds contaminated by microbes

Abstract

Use of pathogenic biological agents during terrorist operations as the basic or accompanying amazing agent makes the big danger to the population and seriously complicates rendering assistance by the victim. We receive the patent for a way of treatment of wounds which allows to stop simultaneously bleedings in a wound and to disinfect it. Researches with use of the portable device developed by E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute NAS of Ukraine, A.A. Shalimova Institute of surgery and transplantology AMS of Ukraine. Therefore, this experimental investigation reflects results of pre-clinical tests of thermo-spray method of treatment of infected wounds, as well as equipment created for its realization. Upon carrying out of the necessary clinical tests and creation of production sample of equipment this method can be recommended for use in military medical practice, in the emergency conditions, as well as during rendering of surgical service to citizens in normal conditions during treatment of infected wounds. © 2009 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.
