title: Synthetic membranes. Use in diabetic ulcers.
abstract: Diabetic ulcers may increase patient morbidity and mortality, necessitating fast and effective treatment to obtain wound closure. Synthetic membranes, when appropriately used, provide a simple and efficient means of treating more superficial lesions. When used as an adjunct to proper wound debridement and care, successful closure can be expected.
