Abstract

The clinical effect of dextranomer paste (Debrisan) in post-operative wounds (20 patients) was compared with the standard treatment in our department (polyvinylpyrrolidone, 20 patients) in a randomized study. All variables dealing with cleansing, inflammation-reducing effect and signs of ongoing healing were studied. Dextranomer paste appeared to be significantly better than polyvinylpyrrolidone in wounds with a high degree of pus and debris. No side-effects were observed in the dextranomer paste group. One patient in the control group showed an allergic reaction (oedema and erythema) and was withdrawn from the study.
