About Percutaneous Hydrotomy
What is Percutaneous Hydrotomy?
Percutaneous (per·cu·ta·ne·ous) hydrotomy is a medical intervention involving the subcutaneous or intradermal injection of a physiologic saline solution (NaCl 0.9%). The sterile saline solution is mixed with vitamins, anti-inflammatories, local anesthetics, and trace minerals.
How It Works
The “hydrotomy cushion” created by the sterile saline serves as a therapeutic delivery vehicle for the other products, promoting localized diffusion and absorption to treat lesions in a targeted manner. This treatment can be administered discontinuously or continuously using the “tumescent” technique.
Therapeutic Purposes
Extracellular hydration
Micronutrition (regenerative medicine)
