Critiquing clinical research of new technologies for diabetic foot wound management.
Healing the diabetic foot ulcer has been a challenge. Over the past 20 years, researchers have gained significant knowledge about the biochemical mechanisms that underlie the process of wound repair. A literature review of the latest advanced technologies, devices, and therapies is provided. In addition, clinical decision-making insights for clinicians to evaluate research and to assist in choosing the correct modality for each of their diabetic foot ulcer patients are discussed.
