  • Title: [Should antiseptics be used for chronic wounds?].
    Author: Barrois B.
    Journal: Diabetes Metab; 2001 Feb; 27(1):78-81. PubMed ID: 11240452.
    Abstract:
    Using antiseptics is common, it is adequate on safe skin, but no scientific study allow their use on break skin. Then, cicatrisation is a complex process with a physiological bacteriocycle. Usual antiseptics are responsible of fibroblasts destruction and only a short effect on bacteries. So, it is logical not to use antiseptics on break skin.
