Introduction: There are several studies on Caryocar brasiliense (Brasilia Caryocar) in the healing process; however, few studies have been developed evaluating resistance to post-treatment tension. Objective: To analyze the scar tension in skin incisions of rats after therapy Caryocar brasiliense. Method: Twenty Wistar rats were divided into two groups (placebo / rough), suffered skin incision in dorso. The treatment group received daily dose of Brasilia Caryocar oil and the placebo group with application of mineral oil. After sacrifice, in seven fourteen days after surgery, skin samples were subjected to tensile-histological analysis. Results: There was a significant intergroup difference in the maximum strength of traction, as well as an increase in collagen synthesis in the area of lesions in the treated group. Conclusion: Treatment with Caryocar brasiliense oil increases the tensile strength of the skin, improving the healing were response, reducing risk of dehiscence and postoperative complications.Downloads
