On the use of humanol for the treatment of purulent wounds

Special attention is paid to the issue of wound treatment by surgeons. Many different ways, methods and drugs for the treatment of purulent wounds have been proposed. In 1934, Lair published his original method of using fish oil for the treatment of wounds, which captivated many surgeons with its effectiveness, simplicity and availability. We use Laer's method for about one and a half years with some modification. We, using the suggestions of Gollyander, Leffler, Nuzelaum and others (I quote from Kapitsa), widely use pure humanol for the treatment of purulent wounds of the most varied in their genesis, localization and bacterial flora. We also use humanol as a basis for some chemical ingredients - iodoform, introducing it either as an emulsion in the treatment of bone tuberculosis according to Gotz-Grekov, or injecting it into bone cavities after trepanation of the bone with osteomyelitis lesions, fistulous passages, etc., often filling these cavities with a humane mass.
