    Area of Science:

    • Medical Engineering
    • Clinical Practice

    Background:

    • Controlled Environment Treatment (CET) is utilized in amputation surgery.
    • Existing applications are primarily in the United Kingdom and United States of America.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a new method for improving the physical environment of the extremity.
    • To extend the application of CET and gain wider experience.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study based on clinical impression, without formal controls.
    • Involved 100 cases and 128 treatments across diverse clinical presentations.
    • Recorded data included oedema, infection, ischaemia, and pain.

    Main Results:

    • The system achieved staff acceptance.
    • Conclusions were drawn based on recorded clinical data.
    • The treatment appears justified in specific, carefully selected clinical conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Continued use of CET is supported for certain clinical conditions.
    • Controlled scientific assessments, particularly in vascular laboratories, are necessary.
    • Further research should focus on objective, quantitative evaluations.
