Radio electric tissue optimization in the treatment of surgical wounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To report preliminary results with the tissue optimization (TO) treatment with a radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) in promoting the repair of surgical wounds. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two subjects, a 54-year-old male with a tear bruise on the upper third of the leg and a 19-year-old female with a stab wound to the hand, were treated with 12 REAC-TO treatment sessions. RESULTS In both patients, the wounds showed shorter healing time compared with the time usually required for similar wounds, and good repair quality. CONCLUSION REAC device with its specific treatment protocols may be an alternative therapy for wound healing.

متن کاملPhysical reparative treatment in reptiles
BACKGROUND The tissue growth necessary to achieve a complete or partial restitution ad integrum as a result of injury to soft tissue and/or hard times in reptiles is variable and often needs long time in relation to the species, to the habitat and to their intrinsic physiological characteristics. The purpose of this work was to see if the tissue optimization (TO) treatment with radio electric a...
