Abstract

The present invention relates to low pH antimicrobial solutions comprising hypochlorous acid, water, and, optionally, a buffer. The inventive low pH antimicrobial solutions have a pH from about 4 to about 6 and are useful for treating impaired or damaged tissue and for disinfecting surfaces. Chemical processes for the production of the low pH antimicrobial solutions are also provided wherein chlorine gas is added to a buffer solution containing a buffering agent and water. The present invention also provides an electrochemical process for the production of the low pH antimicrobial solutions.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of treating a wound and an apparatus for promoting wound healing. An enclosure (22) is applied over the site of a wound (23) and filled with a physiologically acceptable rinse solution. The physiologically acceptable rinse solution treats the wound and can promote the growth of tissue cells in the wound. Following exposure to the wound, the physiologically acceptable rinse solution is analyzed by a data sensor to determine the wound bed biology.
