Clinical Efficacy and cost effectiveness of Cerdak dressing over Saline gauze dressing among diabetic foot ulcers

Ulceration of diabetic foot ulcers is common, and widely acknowledged to be a source of major distress and morbidity in a predominantly elderly population, as well as an enormous drain on health-care resources [1-3]. Not only diabetes makes the foot more liable to ulceration, but it also impairs the process of healing, and diabetic foot ulcers readily develop into chronic wounds. While the pathophysiology of chronic wounds remains poorly understood, there is no logical framework to underpin many strategies of care.
