Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
pulsed wound irrigation (PWI)
The necrotic wound is irrigated with normal saline (0.9%) with an 8-12 pounds per square inch pressure (PSI) to provide a mechanical force to loosen necrotic tissue for wound healing
pulsed wound irrigation (PWI)
necrotic wound is irrigated with normal saline (0.9%) with an 8-12 pounds per square inch pressure (PSI) to provide a mechanical force to loosen necrotic tissue for wound healing
electrical stimulation (ES)
ES works to promote the migration of cells based on natural cell polarity known as galvanotaxis, enhancing and mimicking the natural current of injury. By recreating the natural electrical fields of the skin, ES attracts immune cells vital to healing to wound to facilitate wound closure
electrical stimulation (ES)
high volt pulsed current (HVPC) is most effective in wound healing while decreasing risk of adverse skin reactions or mild burns under the electrodes
