Cutaneous route
Cutaneous ozonotherapy can include a specific method known as bag ozonotherapy, which involves surrounding a limb or part of the animal's body with a bag containing medical ozone.
Here's how bag ozonotherapy works:
Preparation: First of all, medical ozone is generated from a medical oxygen source using an ozone generator. Ozone is a form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms (O3) instead of the usual two (O2).
The ozone bag: A bag made of hermetically sealed, ozone-resistant material is prepared.The ozone generated is introduced into this bag, creating a controlled concentration of ozone inside the bag.
Application: The limb of the animal to be treated is inserted into the ozone bag so that the affected area is completely enveloped by the ozone.The bag is hermetically sealed to prevent any leakage of ozone. Where a large part of the animal's body cannot be placed inside a bag for cutaneous ozone therapy, local application may be considered using a specific device to treat the area concerned.
Ozone exposure: The animal is exposed to ozone for a specific period of time, depending on the medical condition being treated and the veterinary surgeon's recommendations.
Monitoring: During treatment, the veterinarian will monitor the animal closely to ensure that it is tolerating the treatment and to detect any adverse reactions.
Benefits
Bagged ozone therapy can have a number of benefits when used to treat specific skin conditions. It can help stimulate wound healing and recovery by improving local blood circulation, promoting tissue oxygenation and having antibacterial properties. This method can be particularly useful for skin infections, wounds, ulcers and other skin problems that require direct exposure to ozone.
