[A comparison between "moist ointment" and 0.25% iodophor, silver sulfadiazine paste and 0.1% rivanol in the treatment of deep II degree burn wounds].
One hundred and fifteen patients suffering from deep II degree burn were randomly divided into four groups, and "Moist ointment," 0.25% iodophor, silver sulfadiazine paste and 0.1% rivanol were respectively used as topical agents. Their effects were observed and compared. The results showed that "Moist ointment" group was significantly inferior to other groups in respects of healing of wound surface, bacteriostatic property, cost of treatment and formation of hyperplastic scar. Therefore, we suggested that the use of moist ointment in the treatment of deep II degree burn wound should be prohibited.
