As ADMs increasingly become the surgeon’s method of choice in treating diabetic foot ulcers, it becomes more important to select the best-performing biological scaffold. This study shows favorable closure rates combined with a decreased time needed for complete closure when using D-ADM (Wounds)

In this review, the mechanism of EPO’s action in skin wound healing is reviewed, and its potential for treating acute and chronic skin wounds and stimulating tissue regeneration in diabetic patients is discussed (Wound Repair and Regeneration)

TcPO2= 40 mmHg was associated with diabetic foot ulcer healing, but a TcPO2= 10 mmHg was associated with failure of wound healing. We found that a cut-point of 25 mmHg was most predictive of diabetic foot ulcer healing (Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing)

Grafix closes three times as many wounds as standard of care – the largest relative improvement ever reported in a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial for DFU (BioSpace)

Employing evidence-based guidelines, multidisciplinary teams, and institution-specific clinical pathways provides the best approach to guide clinicians through this multifaceted problem (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)

The in vitro effects of CRT on these functions are consistent with CRT’s potent effects on wound healing in the diabetic mouse. These studies implicate CRT as a potential powerful topical therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetic and other chronic wounds (Wound Repair and Regeneration)

These findings summarise all available trial evidence regarding the use of dressings to heal diabetic foot ulcers. More expensive dressings may offer no advantages in terms of healing than cheaper basic dressings (Diabetologia)
