| Abstract: | This article addresses local wound care in people with diabetes mellitus. An approach is proposed that uses wound depth and color to determine the goals of local wound treatment. Principles of cleansing, debridement, and the use of moisture retentive dressings are discussed. Infection, a significant problem in the diabetic patient, is addressed as an essential part of local wound care in these patients. |
