Celebrating 30 Years of Septopal
28 May 2008
...infections are among the most severe complications involved with emergency surgery and orthopaedics.
Postoperative and post traumatic bone, joint and soft-tissue infections are among the most severe complications involved with emergency surgery and orthopedics.
Unlike other infectious diseases, in order to effectively treat these infections, antibiotics alone are not sufficient. In traumatic injured and chronically inflamed tissues, the blood supply is often restricted considerably. Therefore, effective range attained through the systematic administering of antibiotics usually does not adequately ensure an effective treatment of the infection. Sequestrum, implants and necrotic tissue also abet the infection.
The basis of the therapy must therefore always be the radical surgical debridement. Administering Septopal® in these cases as a local antibiotic carrier is an adjuvant measure to ensure the success of the surgical procedure. This treatment method was included as one of the standards in emergency surgery and orthopedics. For 30 years, Septopal® has thus stood for precise, rational and patient-friendly local antibiotic treatment that meats the highest standards of treatment.
