Negative pressure therapy for diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if a vacuum-like wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps heal diabetic foot ulcers after surgery. It may be a good fit if you have a foot ulcer needing surgery and are able to walk.
