title: Radio electric tissue optimization in the treatment of surgical wounds.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report preliminary results with the tissue optimization (TO) treatment with a radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) in promoting the repair of surgical wounds.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two subjects, a 54-year-old male with a tear bruise on the upper third of the leg and a 19-year-old female with a stab wound to the hand, were treated with 12 REAC-TO treatment sessions.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In both patients, the wounds showed shorter healing time compared with the time usually required for similar wounds, and good repair quality.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  REAC device with its specific treatment protocols may be an alternative therapy for wound healing.
