Glucose is a type of sterile and aspirogenic solution used in fluid establishment and caloric supply. This study aims to demonstrate the importance of using glucose in the treatment of complex wounds, whether acute or chronic, when compared to other types of drugs, such as calcium alginate, hydrofibers, hydrocolloids, among others. This is a bibliographic research of the integrative review type, in which some databases were selected to be used for the search, which were: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), and the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health (LILACS) and Nursing Database (BDENF). The studies presented show the efficacy of using glucose both in its in natura form and in the form of processed and sterilized (industrialized) honey especially for use in wound care, in the repair process of injured tissue as well as in the treatment of glucose. infection. Glucose utilization reduces healing time by offering several clinical benefits compared to medical grade honey with conventional treatments on healing rates of secondary intention healing wounds. The combination of glucose along with Ulmo honey and ascorbic acid showed excellent results, with wound healing in 100% of patients with all types of venous ulcers, with an average recovery time of 37 days, which is fast compared to time. registered for conventional treatments. The use of this medicinal practice in the treatment of wounds has several satisfactory effects, but further studies are needed to ensure a safer practice.
