Pain control with punch grafting in ulcers with underlying arteriolosclerosis
CONCLUSION: Punch grafting is a simple, validated and cost-effective technique that can be performed on an outpatient basis, promotes wound healing and reduces pain. It may control pain and stimulate epithelialisation even if the wound does not present with optimum wound bed characteristics for graft taking. Pain reduction and faster epithelialisation are associated with improvements […]

Association of autologous punch grafting, TLC-NOSF dressing and multitype compression therapy to rapidly achieve wound closure in hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers
CONCLUSIONS: The evaluated procedure induced fast re-epithelisation of the treated ulcers. Based on our experience, this simple and successful reparative strategy may be considered as an interesting option in the treatment of venous leg ulcers of poor prognosis.

Early and Sequential Punch Grafting in the Spectrum of Arteriolopathy Ulcers in the Elderly
CONCLUSIONS: Early punch grafting is an effective technique for pain control and healing promotion in Martorell ulcers. Punch grafting, which may be performed in an outpatient setting, is well tolerated by patients and may be repeated several times if necessary.

Theory and Practice of Compression Therapy for Treating and Preventing Venous Ulcers 24 June, 2020
Compression therapy is the basis for treating the cause of venous ulcers and preventing recurrence. Various systems are currently available for applying compression and adapting them to patients' needs can improve adherence to treatment. Understanding the principles that underlie compression therapy is essential for success. Although this paper focuses mainly on venous ulcers, compression has […]

Bayesian Regression Model for a Cost-Utility and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Comparing Punch Grafting Versus Usual Care for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds 3 June, 2020
Punch grafting is a traditional technique used to promote epithelialization of hard-to-heal wounds. The main purpose of this observational study was to conduct a cost-utility analysis (CUA) and a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) comparing punch grafting (n = 46) with usual care (n = 34) for the treatment of chronic wounds in an outpatient specialized wound […]
