Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with wounds and acceptability to Larval Therapy (LT). Method: Followed 15 patients with chronic wounds and recorded in clinical records. Results: Patients didn’t know LT. Ages varied (45 to 73 y.o.), were black (46.66%), white (26.66%) and yellow (20.00%), predominantly women (73.33%). They had Elementary (53.33%), High (20.00%) and Higher education (26.60%). 60% lived in Rio de Janeiro; Wounds (mean age of 6 years; mean area of 9.4 cm²) in the distal third of the legs (53.00%) and feet (47.00%), with vascular origin (40.88%), pressure (31.69%), diabetic (16.66%) and infectious ulcers (10.77%). Patients had three (20.00%), two (20.00%) or one wound (60.00%), with necrosis (80.00%), infection (37.60%), granulation (50.30%), epithelialization (15.00%), pain (54.00%) and locomotion difficulty (47.00%). Venous insufficiency as the most observed pathological antecedent. Acceptability for LT was 93.33%. Conclusion: LT is an alternative to better quality of life.
