Summary

Conventionally diabetic foot is treated with moist wound dressing and antibiotics but recent studies show that VAC dressing gives better results as compared to conventional saline dressing in treating Diabetic Foot Ulcers. This may decrease amputations rate, work load on hospitals, hospital stay, repeated hospital admissions, unemployment and can improve patient's quality of life. Objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Vacuum Assisted Closure therapy with saline dressing in management of diabetic foot ulcers in terms of granulation tissue formation and wound healing.
