Abstract

Aim.
Clinical assessment of the use of dressing materials based on the lipid-colloid technology for the local treatment of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS).
Materials and methods.
The study included 24 patients with DM1 and DM2 and neuropathic or neuroischemic forms of DFS in the absence of pronounced leg ischemia (ankle-brachial index >0.7). Duration of the observation period was 8 weeks, the patients were examined once in 2 weeks. The dressing materials used in the study were based on the Cellosorb NA, Cellosorb Ag, Urgotul S Ag. technology (Laboratories Urgo). Efficacy and safety of the dressing materials were estimated from the wound size, degree of exudation, characteristics of the wound bed and the surrounding tissues. The data obtained were treated using Statistica v. 7.0 software (StatSoft Inc.).
Results.
Efficacy of local therapy was assessed based on the Pressure Ulcer Scale of Healing (PUSH). Neither local nor systemic adverse events related to the use of the above dressing materials were registered during the follow-up. Cellosorb NA and Cellosrb Ag hydrocellular dressings showed high absorption activity and atraumatic properties. Most patients especially those using Cellosorb Ag were free from local infection.
Conclusion.
Dressing materials based on the lipid-colloid technology are safe and meet all requirements for the means of local treatment of chronic wounds.
