“…[18] It is also used as pulsed lavage in wound cleansing. [19] JFT is a type of hydrotherapy which uses a disposable cannula (Israel), saline, and oxygen under pressure to mechanically remove mechanically debris and bacteria. Utilizing a unique triple nozzle, JFT is one of the simplest, most efficient, and effective methods of achieving fast and virtually painless debridement when compared to other mechanical debridement methods.…”

Normal wound healing is a complex array of multiple processes which is characterized by three overlapping phases: inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling. [1] Infection and debris are one of the important and common impediments to wound healing. Wound healing is possible only when bacterial counts are maintained at a concentration of 100,000 organisms per gram or less. [2] The presence of eschar, scab or foreign bodies also act as impediments to wound healing. [3] Irrigating the wounds under pressure (hydrotherapy) removes debris and reduces the bacterial content (bioburden), assisting in wound healing. [3] Jet force technology (JFT) is a type of continuous hydrotherapy, which transforms saline and oxygen into microdroplets, which are accelerated to supersonic speeds to remove dead or poorly healing tissue from a wound surface. On a review of the current literature, no articles on JFT were found. This article presents the

“…Clinically, an infection is defined as exceeding the ''critical level'' of 100,000 pathogenic microorganisms per gram of tissue. 11,12 Infection delays angiogenesis and granulation, thereby delaying wound healing. 12,13 Another barrier to normal wound healing is the presence of eschar, which acts as a physical barrier to impede epithelialization and facilitates wound infection by providing a nutrition source for bacteria.…”

“…This single-patient-use-technique utilizes an irrigating solution delivered under pressure via a powered device. 2,12 A pressure of 10-15 psi is generally accepted as most efficient to remove debris, decrease bacterial colonization, and prevent clinical infection. 2,12 Future studies are required to determine the optimal delivery pressure and mode (continuous vs. intermittent/pulsed) for wound healing.…”

Evidenced-based-wound management continues to be a cornerstone for advancing patient care. The purpose of this article is to review the use of whirlpool as a wound treatment in light of evidence, outcomes, and potential harm. Whirlpool was initially harnessed as a means to impart biophysical energy to a wound or burn to enhance mechanical debridement and cleansing. Other credible single-patient-use technologies which provide an alternative to whirlpool in wound care are presented.
