      • Diabetic foot ulcer

      Diabetic foot ulcer

      Diabetic foot ulcer

      Diabetic foot ulcer is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. Nerves may not work as well as normal because even a slightly high blood sugar level can, over time, damage some of your nerves. This is a complication of diabetes, called peripheral neuropathy of diabetes. Trauma and infection risks are increased.

      Diabetic foot syndrome can be detected by foot ulcers, joint and bones diseases. Such wounds are hard-to-heal. Pathogenic microbes grow in thewound. In severe cases this causes gangrene and amputation. 

      Diabetic ulcer signs— typical problems with legs:

      • callositas;
      • blisters;
      • ingrown nails;
      • toe bursitis;
      • plantar warts;
      • hammertoe;
      • dryand cracked skin;
      • fungal disease(athlete's foot);
      • toe fungus.

      Using dressings with Safetac® in the management of diabetic foot ulcers offers many benefits. Using a number of different dressings with Safetac, these were evaluated in a series of case studies of seven patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Mepilex® Lite, Mepilex® Heel, Mepilex®, Mepilex® Border Lite, Mepitel®, Mepilex® Transfer and Mepilex® Ag were selected according to the different treatment requirements of each wound. In each case the dressings with Safetac were found to overcome the clinical challenges of these difficult wounds and assisted in the wound healing.

      In a non-comparative, observational study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Mepilex Ag in the management of diabetic foot ulcers and the post-operative treatment of diabetic foot associated osteomyelitis, the silver containing dressing was found to be easy to use, malleable, adaptable, and suitable for applying anywhere on the foot. In some cases, Mepilex Ag aided with the pressure off-loading. A favourable healing response was reported for 10/12 wounds (i.e. mean healing time of 57.4 days).

      No adverse events were reported. The authors discuss the importance of selecting a dressing as an adjuvant to the treatment of infection that maintains a moist wound environment, allows control of exudate to avoid maceration of the peri-wound region, allows the exchange of gases, isolates the wound, provides comfort for the patient, minimises pain, can be easily removed in order not to damage granulation tissue and peri-lesional skin, and is cost-effective. Based on their accumulated experience, the authors state that Mepilex Ag meets all of these requirements.
