What are the benefits of Vashe treatment?

Vashe Wound Therapy: Clinical Benefits

Vashe Wound Therapy (hypochlorous acid solution) demonstrates significant clinical benefits as an adjunct to standard wound care protocols, achieving 86% complete wound healing, complete elimination of wound odor, and total resolution of pain in chronic wound patients. 1

Evidence-Based Clinical Outcomes

Wound Healing Efficacy

• 86% of all chronic wounds achieved complete healing when Vashe was used as an adjunct to standard wound care protocols 1
• For wounds that did not completely heal, the average size reduction was 47%, demonstrating substantial improvement even in non-responders 1
• The study population consisted primarily of patients with venous or mixed venous/arterial leg ulcers, representing challenging chronic wound types 1

Pain Reduction

• 77% of patients reported pain at enrollment with an average pain score of 4.7 on the visual analog scale 1
• At study completion, no patient experienced pain (pain score of zero), representing complete pain resolution in all affected patients 1
• This outcome is clinically significant as pain reduction improves quality of life and patient compliance with wound care protocols 1

Odor Control

• Odor was present in 21 patients at enrollment with an average rating of 4.58 on the visual analog scale 1
• All patients achieved a zero odor score at the end of treatment, indicating complete odor elimination 1
• Wound odor elimination is particularly important for patient dignity, social functioning, and quality of life 1

Mechanism and Application

Product Characteristics

• Vashe contains hypochlorous acid produced on-site and on-demand, providing fresh antimicrobial solution for each application 1
• The solution functions as an adjunct to standard wound care protocols rather than a replacement for comprehensive wound management 1

Clinical Context

• The open, noncomparative study design limits direct comparison to other wound therapies but demonstrates clear clinical improvement from baseline 1
• The 31-patient study provides preliminary evidence supporting Vashe as a valuable addition to chronic wound management protocols 1

Clinical Recommendation Algorithm

For patients with chronic wounds (particularly venous or mixed arterial/venous leg ulcers):

1. Initiate Vashe as an adjunct to your standard wound care protocol if the patient presents with any of the following: chronic non-healing wounds, wound-related pain, or wound odor 1

2. Expect the following outcomes based on the evidence:

   • Complete wound healing in approximately 85% of cases 1
   • Substantial size reduction (approximately 50%) in non-healing wounds 1
   • Complete pain resolution within the treatment period 1
   • Complete odor elimination within the treatment period 1

3. Monitor response using objective measures: wound size measurements, pain scores, and odor assessment 1

Important Caveats

• The evidence comes from a single open-label, noncomparative study without a control group, limiting the strength of conclusions about superiority over other treatments 1
• The study did not specify treatment duration or frequency of application, which limits precise protocol recommendations 1
• No safety concerns or adverse events were reported, but the small sample size (31 patients) limits comprehensive safety assessment 1
• The mechanism by which hypochlorous acid achieves these outcomes (antimicrobial activity, biofilm disruption, or other effects) was not elucidated in this study 1
