Hi, I am considering buying the dentron biogun to use for verrucae and athletes foot in my clinic. Does anyone have any experience with this equipment and could they let me know how effective it is. Also, I am having trouble finding research to back it up so any links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, James.

We had some discussion here:http://www.podiatry-arena.com/podiat...read.php?t=662

Go to Google, there is a lot of information on the product. I have not tried it but it appears to be not very popular.
If you are in the UK, there is a Podiatrist Mr Mike Potter conducting a study on VP's
Southhampton Uni.
I use a combination of chemicals Mono with Sal.
There was a thread a couple of weeks ago on VP treatments.

Hi All,

When considering the value of various products and treatments on verruca, I always check the natural healing rates or regressions of Verruca, that of 85%. What I mean is will the Verruca treatment claimed heal-rate exceed 85%, (What it does naturally, anyway!)? If it's 85%+ worth a second look!

If it does not exceed 85% I would consider various well known brands of treatments including certain cryosurgeries, Acid treatments, and praying over it including giving it the Last Rights out of desperation! Never mind out in the back garden with the, what was it the pound of steak at midnight, you could catch your death of cold doing that???

I cannot remember the success rate for the Dentron but it looks good on paper if I remember rightly, definitely check around! 'THATFOOTSITE' perhaps, and stick Verruca and Dentron Biogun in the search box here!?

Regards,

Colin.

PS. Before considering buying anything, make sure you read Threads on Dentron Biogun in this Forums Search Box on the Home Page bottom left of screen! Read carefully the information there! It could save you quite a lot of money!!!

There was a limited clinical trial carried out, the results of which I believe you can read on the dentron site. The trouble is, all the patients in the trial group were also treated with a keratolytic, or similar, which rather makes the results invalid! Other than that, all other evidence is anecdotal at best, as far as I am aware.

Limited is the word Tim.
The only "research" I've seen was published in the same website colours as Dentron's own site, and claimed 100% success.

Hmmmm..............

LOL! mind you, some practitioners claim great success with banana skins, and there isn't a lot of clinical data to support that either!

One thing is for certain, VPs seem to attract a mixture of the bizarre and the baffling when it comes to treatments.

I have come late to this debate, but it seems the biogun is very similar in operation and effect to a beauty therapist's high frequency unit (although the units look nothing like each other), the main effect of which, is to produce ozone (which you can clearly smell during operation) on the skin's surface. One could argue this is bacteriacidal, maybe even fungicidal, but virucidal? I remain to be convinced, and having spoken to the inventor, he doesn't seem to know - or is unwilling to tell- how it works.

I think that about sums it up!
