| One
of our patients had a chronic infection for 10 years.
Nothing worked. With the Derma-Wand, we finally
cleared the infection.

We
have used the Derma-Wand even for deeper infected
wounds, 3 - 5 times per week, with three-minute
exposures, and produced good results. Irrigation
with lots of water is very important. Even ischemic
toes are responsive.
We
avoid using petroleum jelly on surrounding skin
because it tends to keep too much moisture in
the skin. Instead, cardboard cutouts for masking
work best with our patients. For wet, oozing wounds
UV-C helps to dry the wound bed.
