Comparative study between Mandakini off loading and conventional gauze dressing in the management of diabetic foot plantar ulcers
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Offloading is an essential treatment modality that is key in preventing and healing of ulcers in the foot of diabetes patients. Various different offloading modalities exist with each having their own advantage and disadvantage. What is essential in clinical practice is which one is the best that can be applied with ease and which can facilitate in healing ulcer. The basic aetiology of neuropathic diabetic foot wounds involves pressure in conjunction with cycles of repetitive stress, leading to failure of skin and soft tissue integrity. The central tenet of any treatment plan addressing neuropathic diabetic foot wounds is the appropriate debridement of nonviable tissue coupled with adequate pressure relief (off-loading).
