ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for promoting resolution of infection at an externally accessible wound site, such as a skin tear or ulcer, of a patient using antibiotic agents (normally comprising one or more antibiotic drugs) in combination with electrical stimulation. The antibiotic agents administered to the patient enter the blood stream of the patient, and the electrical stimulation is applied, while the antibiotic agents are in the blood stream, to the patient through one or more active electrodes to cause increased circulation of blood to the wound site to thereby enhance resolution of the infection at the wound site.
