Our outpatient clinic is located inside a hospital. For the 5 years that I have been there we have not used any other method for wound care besides whirlpool and pulse lavage. We are no longer performing pulse lavage becuase of a medical alert advisory warning against its use because of safety issues. I remember in school that e-stim and ultrasound could also be used to treat wounds. I found a site http://www.medicaledu.com/ptmodes.htm which has good info on utilizing modalities to treat wounds.
