OTA 2016: Comparison of anti-biotic-loaded collagen granules and EUSOL for infected wounds
130 patients with an infected traumatic or surgical wound were randomized following debridement to management with either mupirocin in collagen granules and metronidazole (Co-Mupimet) or Edinburgh University Solution of Lime (EUSOL). Groups were compared for wound healing outcomes over 4-week follow-up. A significant difference in the rate of grading granulation tissue as "healthy" was reported for the Co-Mupimet group compared to the EUSOL group over the first 3 weeks of follow-up. No significant differences were reported between groups for the rate of patients demonstrating wound discharge at 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks.
