1 Diabetic Foot Ulcer A Complete Solution Therapy Approach with Adapted Products
2 A Complete Solution for Diabetic Foot Ulcers This booklet focuses on the recommended treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetes is regarded as the health crisis of the 21st century. Did you know that: n 285 million people worldwide are affected by diabetes 1 n Each year a further 7 million develop diabetes 1 n More than 9 million Canadians live with diabetes or prediabetes 1 n 15% of persons with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer 2-3 n Every 30 seconds a lower limb is lost due to diabetes somewhere in the world 4 n The total costs for treating a diabetic foot ulcer can range from $10,000 to $60, The diabetic foot ulcer is one of the most severe effects of diabetes. BSN Medical offers a full package of primary dressings, fixation products and casting products for pressure offloading to help you help your patients. Today, diabetes is extremely widespread. The disease is increasingly a result of lifestyle choices, in particular lack of exercise, excessive blood pressure and excess weight. Early recognition and taking a proactive stance help to keep the late effects in check. 1 Canadian Diabetes Association 2 National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases: Diabetic Neuropathy: The Nerve Damage of Diabetes.

3 Assessment and Treatment of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Assessment and Treatment The Canadian Association of Wound Care has developed Best Practice Recommendations for the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers 1 and recommends the following treatment algorithm 2, in which pressure redistribution is a key component in treating the cause. Person with Diabetic Foot Ulcer Identify and Treat the Cause Vascular flow Awareness of neuropathic changes Pressure redistribution Glycemic control Lipid control Local Wound Care Patient-Centered Concerns Adherence to plan of care Quality-of-life issues related to lifestyle changes Debridement Callus and necrotic tissue Infection Control Rule out/ treat osteomyelitis Moisture Balance Control exudate The importance of offloading Pressure is a factor in 90 percent of diabetic plantar ulcers, and the pressure must be modified or removed. Pressure-induced ischemia occurs in tissues over bony areas of weight-bearing during ambulations and standing. Neuropathy prevents the perception of protective pain, resulting in a increased potential for tissue breakdown. Diabetic plantar ulcerations require aggressive and effective downloading in order to achieve wound healing. 3 1 Heather L.

4 Treating the Cause with Pressure Redistribution Most diabetic foot specialists consider total contact casting as the pressure offloading Gold Standard in the treatment of non-infected DFU, neuropathic foot wounds and Charcot foot. 1 What is a total contact cast? A composite, anatomically conforming, below knee cast that is applied with minimal padding, enclosing the toes. How does total contact casting work? It effectively reduces plantar pressure and redistributes pressure to the cast: Up to 30% of load is distributed to the cast wall 2 Average forefoot offloading is 65% 3 Pressure is reduced up to 84% at metatarsal heads 4 Why is TCC Gold Standard? n It allows for healing while ambulating n It forces compliance* n It provides an intimate total contact with forefoot, arch, heel, Achilles tendon, and lower leg n It eliminates the propulsive phase of gait n It shortens the stride length n It protects the affected limb from trauma n It minimizes vertical (ground reactive pressures) and shear stresses *Total contact casting forces compliance Armstrong et al. 5 demonstrated that patients using removable cast walker for off-loading wore their device on average during only 28% of their total daily activity, and even the subset most adherent to their off-loading regimen still only wore the device for a total of 60% of their total daily activity. This highlights a key advantage of the total contact cast: it is a non-removable device, which the patient must wear 100% of the time, therefore increasing treatment efficacy. 1 American Diabetes Association.

5 Total Contact Casting is the Gold Standard Total Contact Casting is the most effective offloading device in healing neuropathic foot wounds, as overwhelmingly validated by clinical results. A study by Armstrong et al. 1, involved 63 patients with non-infected neuropathic plantar foot ulcers and compared the TCC with a removable cast walker and a half shoe. All patients were followed for 12 weeks and had weekly visits for wound care and debridement. 100% 90% 80% 70% 89.5% % 50% 40% % Percent Healed Mean Days to Healing 30% 20% 10% 0% Total Contact Cast Removable Cast Walker Half Shoe Mueller et al. 2 also compared the TCC with another treatment modality. Patients were randomized to receive TCC treatment or to avoid weight bearing and use sterile saline wet-to-dry dressings. The group treated with TCC showed 90.4% healed in an average of 33.5 days, as the non-tcc group showed 31.5% healed in an average of 65.0 days. Myerson et al. 3 used TCCs on 71 plantar ulcers. 90% of the ulcers healed at a mean duration of 5.5 weeks. Those are just a few examples of the clinical evidence available supporting the use of total contact casting as pressure offloading device. In short: n 18 studies (4 randomized) show total contact casting results in consistent healing of active diabetic foot wounds from days for 85-95% of patients. n A meta-analysis of 526 ulcers in 493 patients presented by Peter Cavanagh at the 2000 American Diabetes Association 60th Scientific Sessions, showed TCC use resulted in 88% healing in mean time of 43 days. 1 Armstrong DG, Nguyen HC, Lavery LA, et al.
