Diabetic Foot

There is widest range of treatment options for various types of foot ulcers. In addition to the standard techniques and surgeries, many additional procedures are being offered. In diabetic foot because of the poor circulation, nerve damage and impaired immune response will make poor wound healing. Advanced wound-healing technology is negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). This consists of a wound dressing, an air-tight film placed over the wound, and a drainage tube connected to a suction device that draws excess fluid. The suction enables healthy new tissue to grow. We rarely do skin graft without using NPWT before the procedure. The success rate of all the advanced therapies for diabetic foot wounds is high, providing substantial improvement over treatments of the previous decade.
