When managing DFUs, big losses can start small
In a disease with many challenging variables to control, small misses can be devastating. Improving our understanding of diabetic foot ulcers will enhance prevention and management strategies for DFUs.
One of the main reasons why wounds are so difficult to heal is related to the presence of biofilms, which affect all phases of wound healing and are considered to be independent factors in delaying normal wound healing.
Tackling biofilms as part of infection management is challenging. Nitric Oxide (NO)'s specific properties make it a promising antimicrobial agent, to help support wound healing.
