Author: doctor Derjushev A.N.

So our life is arranged, that from early childhood we have to face such a problem as wounds. This is natural, because it is almost impossible to avoid injuries. Naturally, our desire to get rid of these wounds as quickly as possible. In this connection, there is a need to talk in sufficient detail about how to deal with the problem of wounds, what preparations and ointments exist and what is recommended to use.

The most diverse methods and preparations for the treatment and healing of wounds developed by scientists and pharmacists were strictly oriented at the stage of the wound process, despite the fact that the biological healing process for all wounds is the same. This process does not depend on the mechanism of wound formation, and follows a single law. However, each person has special time intervals for wound healing and it depends on a lot of reasons. This is the state of the nervous system, the state of the endocrine system, the amount of blood loss in the wound, and so on. That is, in simple terms - we are all different and our wounds heal in different ways!

Any wound process passes in three phases, and for each of these phases, their preparations and ointments are developed, including. This phase - inflammation, regeneration and scar formation. Consider in order the use of drugs depending on the phase of the wound process.

During the first phase, that is, the phase of inflammation, it is recommended to use drugs and ointments that will provide prevention and treatment of wound infection, because a fresh wound is almost always infected. Such drugs should have an antimicrobial and antiseptic effect. In the practice of treating wounds, new complex iodine compounds such as Yodopirone, Iodovidone, Povidone-iodine, Betadine, etc. are now widely used. It is also possible to use such a powerful antiseptic as 0.5% dioxidine solution. Well-proven for local use and a preparation-antiseptic from a class of surfactants - Miramistin. If the wounds are large enough, then for the treatment in phase I, you can use ointments such as levomecol, levosin, 1% iodopyron ointment, in addition ointment - streptonitol, mafenide acetate, niticide. Practitioners are now actively recommended ointment - Streptolaven, which includes an enzyme of microbial origin (streptolysin) and an antimicrobial drug miramistin, this drug does not cause drying tissues of wounds. This, perhaps, the only ointment in the country that helps dissolve dead tissue, now it is successfully used in the treatment of patients with burns, trophic ulcers, and even pressure sores. It is worth paying attention to 0.5% miramistin ointment, which has not antimicrobial properties, but also antiviral and even antifungal action, which is of course very important when it comes to patients with trophic and long-lasting non-healing wounds. Baneocin - a drug produced in two forms (powder and ointment) also has an antimicrobial effect and is therefore successfully used for topical treatment of purulent wounds. More information about ointments from purulent wounds read in the material. Here, in the first phase of the wound process, you can also use the domestic preparation 15% Dimefosfon, which also has a value in purulent wounds, since it has an antimicrobial effect, and also a quite pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Do not forget that any wound is also a pain, which means that wound-healing ointments should also have an anesthetic effect. To these ointments should be attributed trimecaine, and methylulacil. The latter, in addition, also has an activity aimed at the process of formation of new cells, instead of damaged ones. If you have a wet wound, it is recommended to get acquainted with the material on the treatment of wounds .

In the second phase of any wound process, that is, in the regeneration phase, when the discharge from the wounds becomes less abundant and the tissues in the wound begin to recover, it is possible to apply Appolo PAK and Appolo PAA gel bandages that contain iodovidone or miramistin, as well as an anesthetic with local action anilocaine. It is important, in the absence of excreting pus from the wounds, to apply solutions containing iodine: Suliodopyrone, 10% Iodopyron, 1% Iodovidone, 1%, povidone-iodine - as you can see, their choice is wide enough. Modern stimulating wound coatings have both antimicrobial and local anesthetic effects: Anishinspon, Digispon-A, Collagit-FA, Algicol-FA. It is worth paying attention to the ointment from regenerated cellulose - Promogran, which is well answered by patients and doctors. Recently, a new ointment, Fusimet, has appeared in surgical hospitals, which allows successfully treating patients with staphylococcus aureus revealed in wounds.

The regeneration phase is a natural process, but it is also possible to use drugs that this process will stimulate. These stimulants of regeneration include anabolics, and some known vitamins (C, D, E).

Using medicinal preparations, it probably makes sense to remember that in our nature there are many plants with a pronounced wound-healing effect, for example - Comfrey officinalis, also known as belligerence (Symphytum officinale). Among the properties of comfrey comfrey are called wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects, due to which the processes of regeneration in tissues are enhanced. Drugs from the comfrey can be used topically to strengthen the regeneration of tissues in injuries and burns, wounds that do not contain infectious agents. From the roots of comfrey allantoin is isolated, which helps to heal wounds

Known to all Kalanchoe has powerful bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties, has anti-inflammatory effect, can clean wounds and ulcers from necrotic tissues, helps rapid epithelization of wound and ulcer surfaces.

Propolis (bee glue) also has a regenerating effect.

However, with all the diversity and choice of local preparations for wound healing, it is worth remembering that only small wounds are subject to self-treatment, these are domestic burns and sunburn, light cuts, various scratches and abrasions. If the wound is more serious, and even more so if it is caused by animals, as well as burns, a large area of ​​the skin, it is necessary to consult a doctor, as besides local preparations, ointments may require other treatment!
