The “Wounds” conference: 85% of diabetic foot amputations can be avoided with innovative techniques
Doctors and specialists have warned of the increasing incidence of diabetic foot amputations globally, which is estimated at tens of cases every minute, stressing that 85% of diabetic foot amputations can be avoided, through training specialists and relying on innovative techniques and disinfectants.
Doctors explained during the International Conference on Wound Care in Abu Dhabi that the reason for the increase in amputations is the neglect of foot ulcers, the lack of awareness of the seriousness of these ulcers, in addition to the lack of reliance on modern techniques to treat wounds.
Today, Sunday, the conference recommended doctors to focus on early disinfection operations using modern technologies that contribute to wound healing and treatment of ulcers, stressing the importance of training specialists in wound care with these techniques and adopting effective programs to raise awareness of the dangers of neglecting the diabetic foot.
The conference presented the (Dermasin) technology, an innovative technology made of oxygenated water, used to treat clinical ulcers, treat diabetic foot, treat wounds, and reduce limb amputations.
The conference presented the latest clinical studies related to Dermasin technology, which were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the European Health and Environmental Protection Authority, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, and the UAE Ministry of Health, for its ability to protect against gangrene, and saved thousands of cases from foot amputation worldwide. .
This technology turns water into a solution to disinfect skin and wounds and remove dead tissue from wounds, and kills a wide range of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and germs.
Safa Qaddoumi, director of the MicroSave Group, which is responsible for the technology, said that it is free of alcohol or chemicals, which makes it safe on the skin and does not cause irritation or allergies.
During her presentation of the technology at the conference, she added that the technology treats clinical ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-operative wounds and wounds resulting from injuries and accidents, and is also safe for use on exposed tissues, organs and bones.
She stated that the technique has been adopted in hospitals in the Gulf countries to treat burns of all kinds, and skin irritations, and is also used during surgical operations.
The conference aims to highlight the importance of providing the best wound care to preserve the limbs and protect the lives of patients, in addition to raising awareness of the importance of protecting diabetic patients from ulcers and foot wounds.
