Abstract:
Purpose: Last 30 years use of general ultrasound in wound and skin treatment has been shown grate results in hospitals, clinics; wound care centers and doctors’ offices. In this presentation I’ll share of my 50+ years worldwide scientific/academic, industry and clinical experience on research (in vivo and in vitro, laboratory, bench, etc.), review and evaluate the results, safety, validity and efficacy of treatment of all types of acute and chronic wounds including diabetic foot ulcers and share the results with the existing and future users by enhancing their understanding of potential positive outcomes from using the variety of ultrasound devices. Methods: For tissue regeneration and wound treatment purposes, the different ultrasound devices (low and high frequency) have been used, which are been marketed worldwide. The ultrasonic parameters and design of instruments are very influential and critical for different aspects of tissue regeneration and wound treatment, such as ultrasonic energy delivery methods and concepts of ultrasound waves and energy to target, tissue fractionation/ fragmentation/ debridement, liquefaction/ histotripsy, erosion, homogenization, liquation and wound therapy. Ultrasound treatment applies effective ways to prevent damage to surrounding healthy tissue and to succeed in therapeutic wound treatment. Treatment was both contact and non-contact modes, depending on the manufacturers, devices and wound conditions such as acute, infected, chronic, trauma, burn, gun shut, hard-toheal, etc. Results: All wounds have reacted well to all ultrasound treatment; some of the wounds have exceeded expectations compared to standard-of-care treatment vectors. Even painful wounds have been aggressively debrided with some devices without local anesthetics and without patient complaints. Discussion/Conclusion: Ultrasound systems and devices including methods recommended for use in treatment of all types of wounds, depending on size, body parts, tissue type, depth, infection and other conditions, treatment time will vary. It cleans the wound from necrotic (dead) tissue very precisely, stops the bleeding, kills the pain if there are any, activates tissues growth factors, destroys the bacteria cells without hurting healthy tissue cells, increases blood flow in wound bed and peri wound. Use of the numerous aspects or methods of ultrasound wave and energy delivery and distribution of ultrasound energy to wound bed, different energy level, parameters, signal shapes, wave delivery concepts, e.g., contact and noncontact, creation of macro and micro-streaming are critical.
