title: The use of antiseptics in wound care: Critique III.
abstract: Leaper and his colleagues were a seminal force in challenging and changing wound care practice. Three key issues emerge from their paper1, each of which warrants reconsideration today. First, the basis of their philosophy about the use of chemical agents in open wounds; second, the research evidence they used to support their case; and third, why the nursing profession reacted so positively to their message.
