Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find complete re-epithelialization of the wound within 24 consecutive weeks of care, verified using the DUFAS-Br instrument, with a reduction in the scale score pre and post intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
t is expected to find absence or reduction in the growth of microorganisms, verified through wound secretion culture, based on the finding of a reduction in the Colony Forming Units (CFU) count rate.
