title: [Effects of ANSON NANOTECH on the healing of cutaneous chronic wounds].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effects of ANSON NANOTECH on the healing of cutaneous chronic wounds.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-four cases with 44 wounds were locally treated with ANSON NANOTECH in the wounds after debridement. Among them, there were 15 cases with traumatic ulcer (23 wounds), 9 cases with pressure ulcer(11 wounds), 5 cases with diabetes ulcer, and 5 cases with radiation ulcer. The healing time of wounds was used to evaluate the treatment results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The healing time in all of chronic wounds were accelerated. All wounds from trauma, diabetes and pressure were healed within 4 weeks and another 2 wounds from radiation injuries were healed over 4 weeks. The healing rate within 4 weeks was 95.5%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results indicate that ANSON NANOTECH can accelerate the healing of chronic wounds. The mechanism probably include sterilization, improvement of local microcirculation, promotion of cell growth, and so on.
