The efficacy of sodium hypochlorite antiseptic: a double-blind, randomised controlled pilot study

Abstract: Objective: According to a recent clinical trial, 82% of hard-to-heal wounds harbour levels of bacteria that impede healing. A follow-up analysis of trial data revealed that the use of antiseptic cleansers did not correlate with bacterial burden. At a minimum, these findings suggest the need for clinical research into the efficacy of antiseptics in reducing bacterial burden. Evidence supporting the bacterial killing ability of antiseptics is largely derived from preclinical and laboratory studies. Few clinical … Show more

“…32,34 Traditional hypochlorites are unstable and have a short shelf life. 29,34 They have a high pH [2][3][4][5] , which is associated with impaired wound healing. Both full strength (0.5%) Dakin's® solution 8 and half strength (0.25%) Dakin's® solution 6 have been reported to be cytotoxic to fibroblasts in laboratory studies, raising concerns that traditional hypochlorites at their full concentration may delay wound healing 11,16,[29][30][31][34][35][36] .…”
