Topical Wound Care Treatment and Indications for Their Use

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Diabetic Foot

Part of the book series: Contemporary Diabetes ((CDI))

Abstract

In this chapter, we will explore the role of various topical wound care strategies, and the evidence, or lack thereof, in support of their use in diabetic foot ulcer patients. The chapter is divided into two major sections that cover Basic and Advanced wound care strategies. The myriad wound care compounds, dressings, and devices are discussed. The chapter concludes with general recommendation for ulcer management based on stage.
