foot ulcers and non-healing diabetic wounds India is home to the second highest
number
of people living with diabetes in the world, after China. Today there
are over 45 million people
grappling with the disease, and the numbers show no
signs of reducing.
Amongst
other health hazards, diabetes often leads to peripheral vascular disease,
involving both the macro and micro circulation. Statistics reveal that 15% of
all those living with the disease will develop foot problems related to iabetes, and may suffer from various deformities of the toes and feet,
commonly called 'diabetic foot conditions'. These can develop from a
combination of causes including neuropathy (nerve damage) and/or poor blood
supply to the foot, which creates areas of raised pressures in the soles of the
feet, where ulcers develop. These ulcers act as portals for the entry for
bacteria leading to serious infections, which in the already immune compromised
patients can result in amputations or even death.
Diabetic Neuropathy can cause
insensitivity or a loss of ability to feel pain, heat, and cold. This makes
matters worse for those suffering from neuropathy as they can develop minor
cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not even be aware of.
If left untreated, these minor injuries can lead to serious limb and life
threatening infections. Extensive epidemiological surveys have indicated that
between 40% and 70% of all lower extremity amputations are related to diabetes.
This means that every 30 seconds a lower limb is lost to diabetes. In India, an
estimated 50,000 amputations occur per year due to diabetes related foot
problems. A vast majority (85%) of these diabetes-related amputations are
preceded by foot ulcers.
Healing wounds Under Pressure
Oxygen used under pressure or Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO2)
can assist wound healing.
