A Prospective Comparative Study of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy versus Conventional Moist Dressing in the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
From the golden era of Joseph Lister, the concept of cleanliness of wound came into vogue and since then, there is ever increasing knowledge of wound care. Diabetic foot ranks first in decapitating the quality of patient’s life. Dr. Catherine Le Gales- Camus, Assistant Director-General of WHO exclaims in grief, that “It is Unacceptable that so much disability and death are caused by leg amputations, when the solutions are clear and affordable”. So, we compared negative pressure wound therapy with conventional moist dressing in our clinical day to day practice in a tertiary care centre and has conceived that the concept of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy(NPWT) is really a boon to the surgeon for early wound healing and also for improving the wound environment for early wound closure.
