Abstract :

Diabetic foot ulcers are common and during their lifetime are estimated to affect 15 percent of all diabetic individuals. The treatment of diabetic foot ulcers comprises of protocols aiming for relieving the wound with the help of suitable therapeutic footwear. Other treatment options include the use of daily saline or similar dressings that permits a moist wound environment, deidement, antibiotic therapy if osteomyelitis or cellulitis is present, optimal control of blood glucose level, and assessment and correction of peripheral arterial insufficiency. Hence; the present study was conducted in AIMSR Bathinda for assessing the outcome of collagen dressings on 50 patients with diabetic foot ulcers from June 2018 onwards and it was observed that collagen dressings were efficacious in terms of reduction in wound area resulting in early wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers. This study suggested that future works should focus on biofilms and extracellular regulation in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
