RESUMO
The article is devoted to the local application of high energy plasma flows in the complex treatment of wounds and wound complications. The new technology of physical action upon the biological tissues allows performing dissections, evaporation and carrying on local hemostasis and sterilization of the wound surface simultaneously. The shortening of the first phase of the wound healing process and earlier development of the second phase are due to the "biophysical isolation" of the wound surface by the thermal necrosis layer from unfavorable effects of the external medium. The healing goes on by the type of productive inflammation. The use of plasma flows during surgical treatment of purulent wounds reduces pains during the postoperative period and considerably improves results of the treatment.
