[Prospects and possibilities of prophylactic washing of surgical wounds by pulsating spurs of liquid under pressure].

For bathing of surgical wounds as prophylaxis of wound infection, original apparatus which provides running of the liquid into the wound as impulse pulsating liquid spurts under pressure, is proposed. Washing of surgical wounds by pulsating spurs of liquid diminishes primary dissemination 1000 times and does not produce traumatic action on tissues, promotes washing out blood, fibrin and devitalized tissues from the wound which contributed to favourable healing. Prophylactic bathing of surgical wounds was used in clinic during 384 surgical interventions in abdominal cavity, which resulted in decrease of frequency of wound complications more than 5 times and reduction of hospitalization period after surgery.
