Podcast 842: "History of Wound Care"

Contributor: Chris Holmes, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Through world history, there have been various interesting approaches to wound care
  • Ancient Egyptians applied honey, lint, and grease which provided antimicrobial, absorptive and moisturizing properties, respectively
  • Ancient Greeks irrigated wounds with clean water and applied wine and vinegar which may have been antimicrobial
  • One of the first synthetic topical antimicrobials was a dye researched by scientist Gerhard Domagk and later produced by Bayer under the name Prontosil
  • Some current wound care methods include wet-to-dry dressings, Dankin's Solution (sodium hypochlorite) and the use of maggots
