What Is A Diabetic Wound?
Diabetic wound is the most common chronic wound. As a result of narrowed blood vessels, diabetic wound healing is impaired because less oxygen can reach the wound and the tissues do not heal as quickly. Also, high blood sugar destroys nerves, so patients are less sensitive to pain. With this loss of sensation, patients do not feel developing blisters, infections, or existing wound changes. Therefore, wound healing is complicated not only by the fact that patients do not feel wounds as they occur, but they also have no pain to alert them that a wound is getting worse. Moreover, impaired sweating, dry and cracked skin, toenail infections, and foot deformities are more commonly found in people with diabetes, increasing the risk of a bacterial infection.
Treatment
Standard wound care treatment as recommended by a specialist
Control/correct causes of diabetic wound such as high blood sugar level, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, proper shoes, high pressure areas
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) – enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. This increases tissue oxygen availability and promote healing. Patients will receive treatment in HBOT chamber around an hour and a half per day.
