Diabetic Foot and Chronic Foot Wounds Treatment

About the Treatment Method

A diabetic foot is a condition in which numbness and circulatory disorders develop in the patient's foot as a result of the blockage of small blood vessels in the legs and the death of nerves (neuropathy) due to diabetes. Even a small bruise or callus can quickly turn into gangrene and massive deep wounds. The treatment of these chronic wounds is carried out by a council consisting of infectious diseases, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedics, and wound care specialists to prevent the amputation of the leg.

Multidisciplinary Wound Care and Recovery

Methods used in the treatment of diabetic foot.
Why doesn't the wound heal and grow?

When a wound opens in a healthy person, blood (oxygen and healing cells) rushes to that area through the vessels. However, since the vessels are blocked in a diabetic patient, healing blood cannot reach the wound. Because the nerves are dead, the patient does not feel pain and continues to crush the wound by stepping on it.

Why are vessel opening procedures (Angio) performed?

It is the most key point of the treatment. No matter what cream you apply from the outside, if blood does not reach the area, the wound will not close. Cardiovascular surgeons or interventional radiologists perform leg angiography to open blocked capillaries below the knee with a balloon or small stents; once blood flow is restored, the wound begins to heal rapidly.

Does Ozone or Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy work?

Yes. After the vessels are opened and the wound is cleaned (debridement), the patient breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized cabin (Hyperbaric Oxygen) or applying high-concentration Ozone gas to the wound area increases the oxygenation of tissues, kills stubborn infections, and significantly accelerates wound closure.
