Eusol: the plastic surgeon's choice?
Many products are currently promoted for use on wounds. Edinburgh University Solution of Lime (Eusol) has recently received adverse publicity regarding its use in wound management. One hundred and twenty-four consultant plastic surgeons were surveyed regarding their use of Eusol. Ninety-five replies were obtained (77%); of those who replied, 78 (82%) still use Eusol, while nine out of 17 who do not are prevented from using it as they are unable to obtain necessary supplies. In plastic surgery, Eusol is still being used by plastic surgeons in specific situations.
