A randomised controlled trial comparing eusol and sugar as dressing agents in the treatment of traumatic wounds.

Abstract

We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing EUSOL (Edinburgh University Solution of Lime) and sugar as dressing agents in the treatment of traumatic wounds. Patients in both groups were matched for age and gender. We found EUSOL did better than sugar in terms of contraction of size of wound, presence of discharge, floor area covered with slough, formation of healthy granulation and early possibility of wound coverage.
