Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that the vacuum sealing drainage technology can effectively promote the wound healing, and it has a wide prospect of clinical application, but there are few reports addressing the treatment of diabetic foot.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical effect of vacuum sealing drainage technology in the treatment of diabetic foot wounds.
METHODS: Sixty diabetic foot patients were randomly divided into two groups: traditional treatment group, regulating blood sugar level, dressing and traditional debridement; vacuum sealing drainage group, conventional treatment combined with the vacuum sealing drainage technology. The clinical efficacy of two treatments for diabetic foot was evaluated.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the traditional treatment group, the vacuum sealing drainage showed better outcomes in switching frequency, stable blood sugar control, preparation time, wound healing time and cure rate (P < 0.05). It indicates that the vacuum sealing drainage technology in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers can resolute wound inflammation, stimulate the growth of granulation, create a favorable surgical condition for secondary skin grafting or flap coverage, significantly shorten the treatment time, and exhibit better curative effects than the traditional treatment.
