[Treatment of crural varicose with topical dressings of "synthetic skin"].

: In Dermatological Department of the Lublin Medical Academy 22 patients with crural varicose ulcerations have been treated with topical Codogard dressings. Before this treatment the patients were given some antiinflammatory and vasodilatatory drugs. The treatment lasted from 4 to 12 weeks (mean 6). In 9 patients complete healing was reported (they had small ulcerations). In 10 cases the improvement was evident, in 2 cases the treatment was discontinued. The obtained results point to clinical usefulness of Codogard, as the drug is easy to be applied and it may play a significant role to outpatients.
