Understanding Diabetic Ulcers: Challenges & Solutions

Introduction

Diabetic ulcers are one of the most common and challenging chronic wounds worldwide. Affecting millions of patients, these wounds often take months to heal and can lead to severe complications if not treated properly. At Dermal Biologics, we are committed to offering solutions that help healthcare providers treat diabetic ulcers more effectively with biologic therapies.

Why Diabetic Ulcers Are Difficult to Heal

  • Poor circulation reduces the supply of oxygen and nutrients needed for healing.
  • Neuropathy (nerve damage) makes patients less likely to notice injuries until they become severe.
  • High infection risk due to slow healing and compromised immune response.

Biologic Solutions for Healing

Biologic membranes, such as AmnioPlast™, provide natural growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins that support cell migration, reduce inflammation, and stimulate tissue regeneration.

Key Benefits of AmnioPlast™ in Diabetic Ulcers:

  • Creates a biologically active wound environment.
  • Accelerates closure rates compared to traditional dressings.
  • Reduces recurrence risk with long-term tissue repair.

Clinical Insight

Recent case studies have shown that patients treated with AmnioPlast™ experienced faster healing times by up to 40% compared to standard wound care.
