Can anyone guide me to some evidence on this please. My Medline search on
Antisep$ and wound healing yielded nothing useful. The A&E dept of our
local DGH cleans its dirty wounds in the traditional fashion with a
variety of antiseptic. The County's minor injury units (run by a different
trust) use nothing but saline irrigation believing that antiseptics delay
wound healing and do not prevent infection. Those running the departments
do not know of the evidence on which their preferred management is based!
