Whirlpool for wound healing

I recently had an infection on my hand from a cat bite. It was severe enough to require an incision to clean out the area. This left a 1 cm diameter opening that healed slowly because I have diabetes. Originally the doctor wanted me to make daily trips to a medical office to use a specialized whirlpool to immerse my hand. This would have been very difficult to do. As an alternative I suggested a home whirlpool. The Homedics jet spa is designed for foot treatment but it worked great for my hand. My friend purchased it for me from Bed Bath and Beyond. I filled it with warm water and immersed my hand for thirty minutes each day. The Homedics jet spa has both bubbles and whirlpool jets. The wound was healing very slowly until I started the whirlpool treatments. I could do everything at home and didn't have to make daily trips to the doctor's office for the whirlpool. The wound healed in just a few weeks once I started using the jet spa. It is not expensive and worked wonders.
