Chronic wounds, especially those that are hard-to-heal, constitute a serious public-health problem.
Olive tree (Olea europaea) leaf extract (OELE) has important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting its use in human clinical practice (1). A clinical trial and a sub-analysis of it conducted with the amorphous hydrogel EHO-85, containing OELE, for skin ulcer treatments were recently published (2-3). In a new publication, the effect of EHO-85 on healing was evaluated in comparison with treatments containing Centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, or dexpanthenol in a rat model.
A sub-analysis of previous clinical trial (1) conducted with the EHO-85 hydrogel in the treatment of patients with pressure ulcers, venous ulcers or diabetic foot has recently been published in the journal Pharmaceutics (2). On this occasion, the aim was to analyse the ability of the EHO-85 hydrogel to accelerate wound healing compared to a commonly used reference hydrogel.
