Role of hydrogen peroxide in intra-operative wound preparation based on an in vitro fibrin clot degradation model

Role of hydrogen peroxide in intra-operative wound preparation based on an in vitro fibrin clot degradation model

Three per cent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used to irrigate acute and chronic wounds in the surgical setting and clinical experience tells us that it is more effective at removing dried-on blood than normal saline alone. We hypothesise that this is due to the effect of H2O2 on fibrin clot arc...
