Abstract

Experience in the use of low-frequency ultrasound in the treatment of infected wounds is analyzed. Evidence is presented supporting cavitation as the primary cause of the therapeutic effect. A new concept for the organization of feedback in ultrasound instruments based on controlling parameters of the cavitation zone is proposed.
