Dr E. Vertan (Zntralbl. F. Chir., No. 41, 1929), on the basis of clinical and experimental observations, finds that boric acid: 1) causing local hyperemia, increases the natural defenses of tissues and leads to the formation of rich healthy granulations, 2) in terms of osmotic qualities, it refers to intense fluids in relation to tissues, thereby facilitating the washing out of bacteria and toxins.
