Abstract
Provided is a method of treating skin ulcers and related complications in patients by administering an oxidative reduction potential (ORP) water solution that is stable for at least twenty-four hours.
Claims41
A method of treating a skin ulcer in a patient comprising administering an oxidative reductive potential (ORP) water solution to the patient in an amount effective to treat the skin ulcer, wherein the solution has a pH of about 6.4 to about 7.8 and is stable for at least about one week.
A method of treating a skin ulcer in a patient:
- (1) washing or irrigating the ulcer with an oxidative reductive potential (ORP) water solution;
- (2) soaking the ulcer in the ORP water solution;
- (3) dressing the ulcer with a wound dressing saturated with the ORP water solution, and, (4) optionally repeating steps (1)-(3), wherein the solution has a pH of about 6.4 to about 7.8 and is stable for at least about one week.
A method of treating a skin ulcer in a patient:
- (1) debriding the ulcer;
- (2) washing or irrigating the ulcer with an ORP water solution;
- (3) soaking the ulcer in the solution for at least two minutes;
- (4) drying the ulcer for at least about two minutes;
- (5) dressing the ulcer with a wound dressing saturated with the solution;
- and (6) optionally repeating steps (1)-(5), wherein the skin ulcer is an infected Grade 2 or Grade 3 foot ulcer, said ulcer having a surface area of at least about 2.0 cm2, wherein the solution has a pH of about 6.4 to about 7.8 and is stable for at least about one week.
