[Use of Acudex Polfa in the treatment of chronic crural ulcers].

Abstract

Eighty-four patients with chronic crural ulcers were treated with Acudex powder (Dextranomer) Polfa. The mean duration of the treatment was 8 weeks (3-15 weeks). Complete healing of ulcers was achieved in 44 cases (52%), improvement in 10 (12%). The preparation caused a relatively quick clearing of ulcers and marinal epithelialization. In 7 cases the treatment had to be stopped due of allergic reactions around the ulcers or major pains. The remaining patients tolerated the drug very well. Outpatient treatment was also possible.
