title: [Local treatment of post-traumatic infections with debrisorb].
abstract: Debrisan is an highly hydrophilic dextran polymer in the form of dry, spheric beads. When dry Debrisan beads are placed on a wound, the wound secretions are sucked up into and between the beads. No crust is formed on the wound. Bacteria and granular substances are removed with the secretions. In a prospective study 20 patients were treated with Debrisan. 8 patients had local wound infections and there was a healing-up inert 6.1 days in every case. 12 patients with osteomyelitis had a poor result in 3 cases, because they had still fistulization after 10 days procedure. The treatment of osteomyelitis must be surgical in the first place. Debrisan may only have the character of an adjuvans.
