When you have a wound, you really need to look after it and clean it on a regular base. Sometimes the best way to make sure the wound is clean is by undergoing a procedure called pulse lavage. This is a type of hydrotherapy. The machine that is used for this mechanical hydrotherapy is very easy to move around and is also not very expensive. One can use this machine at various setups and institutions. It can be used in a doctor's surgery, at hospitals, at acute care institutions, outpatient clinics, and even general therapy setups.

As mentioned before, the machine is not very expensive. Because of the low cost of the machine, the session is also not very expensive. It is possible for patients on medical aids as well as cash patients to be able to come for sessions on weekly, daily, or even biweekly sessions.

The reason why it is good to irrigate and debride the wound by using the pressurized irrigation method is because this will promote the growth of certain cells that is responsible to form granulation tissue. This could happen without having the underlying tissue and wound bed disturbed. The negative pressure that could be created and caused by the suction can also stimulate the granulation of the cells.

This kind of treatment cannot be done by just any one. It must be a clinically trained and qualified person that needs to do this. It should also be done in a very clean and sterile area to prevent any further infection. The best is to have it done in a doctor's surgery and or even hospital.

The saline will clean the wound and remove of the damaged tissue, but it will not be able to promote the healing of the wound, as the saline is cold. In fact, the cold saline might even go as far as slowing down the complete healing process.

The next thing is looking after the wound and doing this kind of hydrotherapy if there is an infection in the wound. Infection in the wound can be very serious. If the infection is not treated, the wound can get bigger and the infection can even spread throughout the body. This is the most effective way to treat that kind of infection.

Some people might find this difficult to do, but it really is very easy to do this. Here is what you do. While you prepare the patient and the wound, take a bottle of saline water, wrap it in a towel and put it right up against the patient.

The towel will prevent the cold bottle from touch the patient directly and to make to patient uncomfortable. The body temperature of the patient on the other hand, will help the saline heat up to a temperature that will help promote the healing of the wound but also low enough to prevent crystallization of the salt particles. It really is that simple. By doing this one very easy step, you will also help promote the healing of the wound, so that recovery takes less time.
