Comparación de dos tratamientos como cicatrizantes de heridas; la miel de manuka Leptospermum scoparium vs. un antiséptico convencional usado en la clínica veterinaria “Mundo Pet” de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The antioxidant capacity of honey is due to the polyphenols, ascorbic acid, tocopherol, proline, catalase and glucose oxidase that compose it, while the antimicrobial capacity is largely due to the high osmolality, due to the high concentration of sugars, which reduces bacterial populations by up to 61%. The general objective of this research is to compare two treatments as wound healing; manuka honey Leptospermum scoparium vs. a local antiseptic used in the veterinary clinic "Mundo Pet" in the city of Guayaquil. The proposed methodology is as follows; they are divided into two groups: first group conventional treatment or control group (GT) and second group treatment with manuka honey or experimental group (GE). The evolution and time of healing will be evaluated by means of the P.U.S.H. scale. It is concluded that in the field of both human and veterinary medicine the use of manuka honey has the positive effects of rapid healing despite any wound or situation in which the patient is.
