Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the formation of free radicals and the healing effects of ulcers of the lower extremities in a randomized controlled trial with the use of a derived binder. From natural latex combined with a circuit of light-emitting diodes. The sample included 15 participants with lower extremity injuries divided into three groups: case group 1 received the proposed natural rubber adhesive tape system in combination with the LED circuit; control group 2 received home dressings administered by a nurse as prescribed and established by a clinic wound was treated with calcium alginate or silver foam and group 3 also received home dressings using a derived adhesive bandage from natural latex combined with LED circuit. Collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by paramagnetic resonance to determine the formation of free radicals. The Kruskal-Wallis statistical trial was used to evaluate the effect of treatment on ulcer healing of the lower extremities and its correlation with free radicals. The obtained outcomes confirmed the hypothesis that the reduction in the number of these molecules at the end of treatment is related to wound healing.
