Poster: “Chemical Injury: a four-year experience with an advanced approach” J. Verbelen, nurse at Universitair Ziekenhuis Gent (Belgium) et al.

This poster was presented at EBA 2017 by J.Verbelen. He describes the results obtained with DIPHOTERINE® and HEXAFLUORINE® solutions on 46 patients, compared to the results found with water decontamination on 66 patients. “Statistics revealed significantly less surgery and significantly shorter hospital stay”. He finally explains this adapted approach could result in a reduction of costs.

Publication: “Use of an Amphoteric Solution in Eye, Skin and Oral Chemical Exposures: Retrospective Multicenter Clinical Case Series” by Dr. Fortin et al., 2017.

This study gathers 34 cases of contact with different chemicals, received at different hospitals in France and Belgium. The authors measured the influence of the use of DIPHOTERINE® solution on the symptoms and pain. Positive results have been observed on pain and symptoms of eye, skin and mouth chemical injuries after application of DIPHOTERINE® solution.

 NBM 2016 – Kulkarni

This is a poster presented by the Dr. Parag Kulkarni at the Nordic Burn Meeting congress in 2016. It compares water and DIPHOTERINE® on 4 factors (workloss, costs of hospitalization, visual acuity, pain factor). Results are significantly improved using DIPHOTERINE® solution rather than water.
