OBJECTIVES: The objective is a cost-effectiveness analysis of a technological innovation for chronic wounds, with the aid of a pharmacoeconomic model based on the LOGIT AND MAIC tools, due to the lack of real-world information, as well as data and transparent evidence and without asymmetries for the conclusions.
METHODS: Two different situations were used for the elaboration of this study / discussion . The first in relation to accidents at work with injuries to the hands and their consequences, including mainly the evolution and possible acute to chronic wounds. And the second situation in patients with Diabetes Mellitus, who progress to a diabetic foot and a diabetic foot ulcer.
RESULTS: In the two situations studied and analysed, the suggestion to incorporate the new innovative product (dressing for chronic wounds) was important in reducing healing time, leading to savings in classic expenses, including the losses of those who do not incorporate it into the time.
CONCLUSIONS: The economic costs of hand injuries, and especially before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, are high. Larger during the pandemic, but by any standard, these injuries should be considered a substantial burden on the individual and society. The economic cost of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is higher if not incorporating the new cost - saving innovative devices and should be considered as a substantial burden for individuals and society , just like the previous situation .
