[The role of ozone solution on debridement and sterilization of burn wound].

OBJECTIVE

To observe the role of ozone solution on debridement and sterilization of burn wound.

METHODS

In vitro sterilizing effect on common isolated bacteria from burn wound and debridement and sterilization effects on burn wound of ozone disinfectant (ozone solution) were studied.

RESULTS

All the bacteria tested were killed in vitro by ozone solution. In addition, when ozone solution was applied on burn wound, its clearance rate of bacteria was 94.5% and the clinical effective rate was 97.1%.

CONCLUSION

Ozone is low in cost and high in effect which might be used as an agent for burn wound disinfection.
