Stop Diabetic Foot Ulcers Before They Spread
DFUs do not heal on their own — high blood sugar affects blood flow and nerves, causing the wounds to become deeper and infected. We perform surgical removal of dead tissue, control infection at Healing Surg and instruct the prevention of infection. If the ulcers are not treated, they can progress to amputation, but they can heal in 4-12 weeks if treated properly.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers Require Expert Care — Stop Infection Before It Spreads
Diabetic foot ulcers are serious wounds that will not heal on their own, but will deepen, become infected and threaten the health and mobility of your foot. We offer all aspects of diabetic foot care at Healing Surg including, wound assessment, debridement, comprehensive ulcer healing and prevention plans. Infected ulcers, chronic non-healing wounds, neuropathic ulcers and pressure ulcers are treated using proven surgical and medical techniques. We evaluate your ulcer very carefully whether it is new or has been there for months, we remove dead tissue, control infection and ensure the conditions are present that will allow your ulcer to heal. Consultation to post healing follow-up care, we provide all in one place.
Our Approach to Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetics cannot sense pain and pressure in the foot, but still develop foot ulcers which do not heal due to inadequate blood flow to the foot. We start each case by assessing for neuropathy (nerve damage), blood flow, the ulcer size and depth, swabbing for infection and determining the cause (pressure, friction or minor trauma, which would not have been a problem in non-diabetic skin).
If there is infection in an ulcer we treat it surgically, removing the dead and infected tissue under local anaesthetic – otherwise bacteria will become trapped in the dead tissue and healing will not occur. We then grow the wound, treat the infection with specific antibiotics and wait for the wound to heal. Chronic ulcers that do not respond well to conservative treatment may be addressed using surgical pressure redistribution and tissue stimulation techniques. Education is important for all patients on foot inspection, appropriate footwear and regular follow up as it is important as much as getting the foot healed as prevention of new ulcers is essential. Sample of tissue is sent for culture and sensitivity in case of any suspicion of infection, thus using the right antibiotics for faster healing.
Why Diabetic Foot Care Matters
- If left untreated, diabetic ulcers can become infected, deepen and eventually cause gangrene and amputation — surgical intervention early in the disease process can prevent this.
- Diabetics don’t get the sensation of pain or feel a slight cut or blister turn into a big ulcer before they even realize it does, this is why it’s important for them to have regular professional assessments to detect problems early.
- Home care alone is not effective for the healing of chronic diabetic ulcers, as the underlying circulation and neuropathy needs expert management for healing; only proper wound debridement, infection control and pressure relief can help with healing.
