Abstract
1. Pressure sores in paraplegic patients have little tendency to heal. 2. From April 1969 to July 1969, five paraplegic patients with together 11 pressure sores of various sizes, depths and localisations were treated in the rehabilitation centre ‘De Maasgouw’, Maastricht, Holland, with collagen foil of animal origin, which has been developed by Braun to close human skin defects. 3. The method of treatment has been described. 4. During the period of observation seven pressure sores were closed completely and four pressure sores were considerably levelled off and the size well diminished. 5. The clinical findings confirm the results of experiments on animals.
