Abstract:

BACKGROUND: To date, various types of dressings have been proved to promote healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the principle and application of various kinds of wound dressing as well as other adjuvant therapies for diabetic foot ulcers.
METHODS: CNKI, PubMed, Medline and Foreign Medical Journal Full-Text Service were retrieved by computer for relevant literatures published from 2005 to 2015. The search terms were “diabetic foot ulcer, wound healing, dressing, treatment” in Chinese and English, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The most commonly used dressings for diabetic foot ulcers include gels, hydrogels, sponges, foam dressings, film dressings. Polymer materials with different components exhibit their unique chemical, physical and biological properties, such as natural polymer dressings (chitin, chitosan and its derivatives, fibroin, dextran), synthetic polymer dressings (polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol/polyethylene oxide, poly(α-ester)s, all of which can promote the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. Other therapies for diabetic foot ulcers include herbal therapy, becaplermin, and maggot therapy.
