Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common complication of diabetes and can be challenging to manage. A combined approach can lead to faster healing and better outcomes for individuals with DFUs.
This case report presents a 70-year-old man with a 15-year history of diabetes who developed a diabetic foot ulcer. The patient was undergoing treatment with routine therapy. Despite the severity of the ulcer, a combination therapy approach, including larva therapy, Medi honey ointment, and silver alginate dressings, was implemented, leading to successful healing.
By combining these three treatment modalities, we may be able to achieve a synergistic effect and maximize wound healing and infection control benefits.
The combined use a honey-based Media Honey ointment and silver alginate larva therapy can be an effective treatment option for diabetic foot ulcers.
