Summary

Diabetic foot ulcers are a major cause of morbidity and amputation. This randomized controlled trial will compare the efficacy of a traditional antiseptic dressing (EUSOL) with a modern biologic dressing containing Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) in promoting wound contraction. The study aims to determine if PDGF dressing leads to better healing outcomes in patients with Grade II Wagner diabetic foot ulcers.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Wound

Interventions

PROCEDURE

EUSOL Dressing
