Abstract:
A problem that affects the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is diabetic foot ulcers. It is typically brought on by inadequate foot care, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, or poor glycemic control. Globally, patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system face significant clinical challenges when it comes to the effective management of chronic wounds. This study covers the pathogenesis of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), important considerations when choosing a dressing, and the polymeric modalities that are currently being used to help DFU patients heal. The article discusses the development of dry powder formulations for diabetic foot ulcers and associated production methods.
