This research isthe first human clinical trial using 222nm UVC in eradicating bacteriain human wounds. Method: Patients with Stage 2 or 3 (as defined by the revised NationalPressure Ulcer Advisory Panel Pressure Injury Staging System) sacral orgluteal pressure ulcers (PUs) were subjected to four sessions of 222nmUVC light therapy over two weeks. Pre- and post-UVC therapy, woundcultures were taken and quantitative analysis of bacterial colony formingunits (CFU) were performed. Results: A…
