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.
