Wound Management: A Nutritional Formula for Healing Pressure Ulcers

This study investigates the use of a nutritional formula enriched with arginine, zinc, and antioxidants for the healing of pressure ulcers. The researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial with 200 malnourished adults with stage II, III, and IV pressure ulcers. The results suggest that this nutritional intervention, in combination with local wound care, promotes new tissue growth and facilitates faster healing.
