“…On the whole, current study data do not allow for conclusions on a significant advantage of a certain wound dressing in the healing rate of diabetic or venous ulcers [15,76,78,79,81,87,88]. …”

“…Edwards et al confirmed this observation for diabetic ulcers [18]. In a further meta-analysis of 42 randomized clinical studies with a comparison of hydrocolloid, foam, alginate and hydrogel dressings in combination with compression for the therapy of venous ulcers, none of the products displayed a significantly higher healing rate [79]. Especially innovative hydrogels that react to wound conditions (for example, pH-dependent release of wound healing factors) may play an increasing role in the topical therapy of chronic wounds [19].…”

“…Moreover, the follow-up times for the majority of the RCTs were 8 or 12 weeks. Diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers are chronic wounds that usually take longer than two-three months to heal [31,32], so RCTs with short follow-up times in which complete ulcer healing is assessed will have low event rates and consequently low power [19]. Therefore, pooling data from RCTs with different follow-up times may have increased clinical heterogeneity and consequently reduced the validity of our results.…”

“…Synthetic active dressings, such as acrylic, alginate, film, foam, hydrocolloid, hydrofiber, and hydrogel dressings, have purportedly improved outcomes in many situations and have been slowly replacing gauze and other traditional dressings. Although synthetic active dressings are advertised to make gauze and other traditional dressings appear antiquated by comparison, their supposed superiority remains questionable in the context of diabetic foot ulcer and venous leg ulcer treatment [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The purpose of our systematic review and meta-analysis is to critically assess the efficacies of alginate, foam, hydrocolloid, hydrofiber, and hydrogel dressings in diabetic foot ulcer and venous leg ulcer healing and then make clinical practice recommendations based on our findings.…”

“…Esses cuidados abrangem, além da terapia tópica, o uso da terapia compressiva, que objetiva o controle da insuficiência venosa crônica associada ao exercício físico, repouso e elevação das pernas para o controle do edema. Não obstante, faz-se, ainda, necessário o controle de doenças crônicas, como obesidade, hipertensão arterial e diabetes; dieta balanceada e, em alguns casos, medicamentos venotônicos 5,6 .…”
