    Advanced Wound Dressings For Diabetic Foot

    Uploaded by

    Table 2 classifies advanced wound dressings used for diabetic foot ulcers into different types including hydrocolloids, hydrogels, foams, films, alginates, and silver-impregnated dressings. Hydrocolloids form a gel on the wound surface to provide a moist environment but may cause maceration. Hydrogels absorb exudate or rehydrate wounds and donate liquid to aid autolysis but also risk maceration. Foams absorb exudate and maintain a moist wound surface but can be bulky and cause maceration. Films are cheap and permeable but not suitable for infected wounds. Alginates form a gel to absorb exudate and are bacter
