Abstract

Background: Chronic wounds represent a growing health problem in several countries. Ethnobotanical and preclinical studies suggest that copaiba oleoresin (Copaifera sp.) has healing properties.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of copaiba oleoresin in chronic wound healing.

Methodology: Retrospective case series study consisting of 6 participants with chronic wounds treated with 7% copaiba oleoresin with sunflower oil or 10% copaiba ointment. The primary endpoint was the percentage reduction in wound area at the end of follow-up.

Results: Mean age of participants was 54.5 (SD = 11.5) years. The causes of wounds were vascular (n = 3), surgical (n = 2), and traumatic (n = 1). All participants had a reduction of the wound area ranging from 15.5% to 100% during the follow-up (8 to 15 weeks). No complications were observed.

Conclusion: Treatment with copaiba oleoresin proved to be an effective and safe option in chronic wound treatment.
