title: Case 12: a neuroischaemic ulcer on the heel.
abstract: This necrotic ulcer was managed with sharp debridement, octenilin Wound Irrigation Solution and Wound Gel, plus a non-adherent dressing. The significant oedema in the lower limb was controlled with reduced compression. The wound improved steadily over time, healing on week 16.
