Summary
Ulcers and
the subsequent consequences are costly to the health care system.
Prevention of ulcers is important in all diabetic patients. Once an
ulcer occurs, it must be treated quickly and aggressively to prevent
amputation. One option for limb preservation is the use of negative
pressure wound therapy to promote faster healing, get patients out
of the hospital faster, and reduce overall costs.
