Why Mobile Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment Is Imperative
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are severe open sores or wounds usually found on the bottom of the foot. This type of ulcer is a complication of diabetes and is typically caused by poor circulation, a reduced ability to heal wounds, as well as nerve damage.
Patients with a diabetic foot ulcer are more susceptible to infection. According to the World Journal of Diabetes, DFU affects 15% of all diabetic patients. In about 20% of this DFU-affected group, moderate or severe ulcers could lead to some level of amputation.
As with all chronic wound management, early detection and professional wound care are crucial for preventing infection and promoting fast healing. At Preferred Healthcare we provide quality care with prompt, responsive treatment, and come to the patient at their home or healthcare facility.
