Overview
In connection with the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus, the incidence of patients with non-healing wounds in the field of diabetic foot syndrome is also increasing. Assessment of the overall condition of the patient, local assessment of the non-healing wound and surrounding tissues as well as assessment of deeper tissue structures serve as a basis for good wound management. Hygiene of the wound and its surroundings, debridement of wound bed, suitable limb relief, and patient education form an integral part of good wound management. The objective of the statement is not to provide a detailed description of a particular disease or present detailed case studies but show the process of selecting material for phase wound healing (individual products are given with their company names, with the addition of product categorization) and other procedures in the context of comprehensive/multidisciplinary care for patients with diabetic foot syndrome.
Keywords:
