Wounds treated with pulse lavage system significantly reduced in size, had better control of bacterial contamination and had overall faster healing rates, nearly 50% earlier than that of conventionally treated wounds. This implied shorter hospital stay and a reduced burden on the patient and the hospital. The efficacy of pulse power lavage in treatment of chronic wounds as indicated by this study will help the clinician to considerably reduce the morbidity of infection,
pain, humiliation and depression associated with these chronic wounds.
