Topical oxygen treatment for wound healing: a review of clinical and cost-effectiveness
CADTH
Record ID 32012000650
English
Authors' recommendations:
While TWO2 heals 80% of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), refractory venous ulcers (RVU) and chronic wounds without recurrence, its place in therapy cannot be fully determined as the absence of randomization and blinding prevent direct comparison between groups. No evidence was found regarding the cost-effectiveness of TWO2 compared with HBOT or conventional wound care.
