[Use of hyaluronic acid in the therapy of varicose ulcers of the lower limbs].

Abstract

Hyaluronic acid used in the management of ulcers due to chronic venous insufficiency and post-phlebitis syndromes (27 cases) proved to possess an anti-inflammatory and anti-exudative action. It also stimulated regeneration and hence epithelialisation. Comparison of healing times in this series and 35 patients who did not receive hyaluronic acid showed that this drug, in association with other remedies, serves to bring about much quicker healing.
