CARRASCO HERRERO, José María et al. Prevention and perseverance lead to tissue integrity. Gerokomos [online]. 2011, vol.22, n.2, pp.91-96. ISSN 1134-928X.

Lower extremity ulcers have a high prevalence, which has a direct relationship with age, his prevalence is 0.1 to 0.3%, and its incidence is three to five new cases per thousand people per year. When these healed, relapses occur in 33 to 42% of cases, one in trhee suffer ulcer recurrence in a period of nine months, and about 60% at five years. Hyper-oxygenated fatty acids has proven to be effective in preventing lower extremity ulcers due to its favorable action on the skin, increasing blood microcirculation, promoting epidermal cell turnover and significantly improving skin hydration. In this study we wanted to evaluate a possible reduction in the incidence of recurrence of vascular lesions with continued use of hyper-oxygenated fatty acids (AGHO) emulsion, Mepentol® Leche, in the same group of patients treated with the product in a previous study, in which excellent results were obtained which showed its effectiveness in preventing appearance of new lesions in the skin treated with Mepentol® Leche, as well as the improvement of various symptoms that accompany this type of ulcers. To do this, it has been monitoring two years, from 2006 to 2008, these same patients with lower extremity ulcers healed in order to assess the incidence of recurrences in this group.
