Focused pressure over the surgical wound improves the aesthetic outcome.
The pressure focused on a wound leads to its healing, by the effect of the stimulation of arteriogenesis and angiogenesis in the affected area, with a surprising aesthetic outcome. The antibacterial and debriding properties of compression make it a fundamental therapeutic tool in wound management. I checked this effect, treating vascular leg ulcers by means of compression therapy, using a modality which I named “double focal compression bandaging”. The pressure is achieved using a pad-gauzes putted over the wound and fixing it to the skin with adhesive -tape.
