Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treatment

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are among the most complex and dangerous wounds in medicine. Affecting approximately 15% of all people with diabetes during their lifetime, they are the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputation in India - responsible for over 70,000 amputations every year across the country.

Neuropathy can reduce protective sensation, meaning wounds often develop unnoticed. At the same time, diabetes frequently impairs circulation, reducing the body's ability to heal and maintain tissue health.

The challenge is that deterioration often begins before it becomes obvious clinically. Successful treatment requires understanding more than the wound surface alone.
