Abstract: The number of people with diabetes is increasing each year and is projected to reach 439 million by 2030. Up to 25% are expected to have non-healing foot ulcers. Even with revascularization and best standard wound care practices, significant challenges remain in healing DFUs and avoiding amputations. This report features a case study of a patient with diabetes with multiple non-healing necrotic lesions on both feet. After amputation of the left foot was necessary, a new approach using a combination of revascularization and an advanced acellular dermal matrix (ADM), developed by the 3rd author, was successfully used to preserve the right foot.
