Abstract

A clinical case of radiodermatitis on the neck, classified as grade 3 according to the RTOG, is presented, in which the use of therapeutic health textiles, manufactured with Regenactiv technology (chitosan and silver fibers), is associated with the rest of the care that the patient can receive at home from her caregivers. This results in a high level of empowerment, at the same time as providing relief from her dependence on primary health care services.
