“…A new highly hydrophilic dextran polymer (Debrisan) having become available commercially, it was decided to try the effect of this in treatment of a variety of leg ulcers, the majority being chronic and of venous causation. Reports had already been published (1, 2, 3, 4) of its ability to clean infected wounds and render them fit for autografting.…”

A prospective randomized controller trial of dextranomer beads (Debrisan) and silicone foam elastomer (Silastic) dressings in open infected surgical wounds has been performed. The results indicate that the healing time for wounds treated by Debrisan (n = 25) and elastomer (n = 25) is similar, being 40.92 +/- 3.98 and 36.90 +/- 3.18 days respectively. The time taken for wounds to become pain-free was similar in both treatment groups, as was the persistence of signs in the wounds of erythema, oedema and slough. Comparison of cost reveals the elastomer dressing to be considerably cheaper than Debrisan.
