Objective: To evaluate the local effect of a slow oxygen-release gel on the healing of standardised skin wounds caused in rats. Method: Skin wounds were created on the backs of male rats (Rattus norvegicus, Wistar) that were randomly allocated into two groups. In the treated (T) and control (C) groups, oxygen gel and distilled water, respectively, were applied to the wounds on alternate days for 28 days. Postoperatively, euthanasia was performed at 5, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days, followed by clinical, histological (Masson's trichrome) and immunohistochemical analysis. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni's test. Results: The cohort comprised 50 rats. On clinical and histological analysis, groups C and T showed similar characteristics 5 days post-operation. Subsequently, group T showed better healing at 14, 21 and 28 days and presented more intense inflammatory infiltrate up to 10 days. At days 14, 21 and 28, group T exhibited a reduction in oedema and increased angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, and deposition of collagen fibres than group C. Immunohistochemical analysis showed the presence of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in both the groups, but the levels were significantly higher in group T (p<0.05). Conclusion: The local application of slow oxygen-release gel accelerated the healing of standardised skin wounds created surgically in rats, with increased angiogenesis and better collagen fibre formation.
