Ointments for Purulent Wounds

Such a form of preparation, as an ointment, usually has a soft structure and promotes the formation of a smooth, continuous and resistant protective film on the wound surface. In the case of purulent wounds, the film should not prevent oxygen from entering the wound.

Ointment is more stable when applied than aseptic fluid, since even with a strong temperature increase it turns into a thick suspension without signs of pronounced fluidity. In addition, the ointment for purulent wounds has, in addition to medicinal, also a resorptive effect. Simultaneously, a thick form allows to achieve a high concentration of therapeutic components on the skin surface and in the depths of tissues.

Use an ointment for purulent wounds simply and safely, unlike injections and internal medications. At the same time, the external thick agent is more economical when applied.

Of course, not all ointments can be used to treat purulent wounds, since most of these preparations create a significant "greenhouse" effect, which prevents healing of damage. But there are special external means, intended specifically for the corresponding skin pathologies.

Names of ointments for purulent wounds

Ointments for purulent wounds should meet the following requirements:

• to destroy the infection within the wound;
• contribute to the purification of the wound from pus and necrotic tissue;
• inhibit the development of the inflammatory process;
• do not interfere with the free release of pus;
• create a barrier to prevent additional external infection.

At the first stage of healing (usually on the third day) it is possible to use ointments on a water basis, such as Levomecol, Dioxin 5%, Sulfamecol, etc.

To the cleared wound for the restoration of damaged tissues, drugs that suppress the growth of bacteria and activate regeneration processes are used. To accelerate the formation of qualitative granulation, it is possible to apply ointments with antibiotics, such as Gentamicin, Tetracycline, etc.

There are also universal combined ointments for purulent wounds, which tend to stimulate healing and eliminate the formation of pus. Among such preparations, the most popular are Vishnevsky ointment, Levomethoxin and Oxycyclozole. These medications are especially often used for bandages to stimulate the formation of scar tissue.

Altai self-made ointments from rotting wounds

Alternative medicine, based on the knowledge of the famous Altai herbalists, also offers its own recipes for accelerating the healing of purulent wounds. However, despite assurances of the effectiveness of Altai alternative drugs, we would not recommend using them to treat extensive purulent skin lesions.

• Rannozazhivlyayuschee means with cranberries:
  • 2 tbsp. L. Herb yarrow;
  • 1 tbsp. L. St. John's wort;
  • up to 10 red bilberries.

You should prepare an infusion of these herbs. Berries boil and wipe. For the procedure, the gauze napkin is drenched with decoction, put on the wound, and the wiped berries are laid over the napkin. Hold on the wound for 40 minutes.

• Prepare the bottom sheet of aloe, a small carrot, a tablespoon of honey and melted butter. Aloe is grinded with carrots, mixed with butter and honey and applied under a bandage for several hours.
• Squeeze the juice from the leaves of the lilac, soak the napkin and apply to the wound several times a day.
• Mix the juice from the grape leaves with the juice of the onion bulb. Use for lotions on purulent wounds up to 3 times a day.

It is not necessary to prepare immediately a large amount of a remedy, since the ointment does not contain preserving components and can not be preserved for a long time.
