Why is it important?
It is known that increased concentration of carbon dioxide in blood results in increased blood flow, so the aplication of carbon dioxide through the skin would be highly beneficial in the medical conditions in which blood flow is impaired.
Perspectives
I believe that transcutaneous application of gaseous carbon dioxide has a huge potential in the prevention and treatment of diabetic ulcers.
