Treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with combination of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate with an iodine complex-Hyiodine

A case report of the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers using a sodium hyaluronate and iodine complex.

Article specifications

This case report study was published in 2007 in Journal of Int J Low Extrem Wounds. (IF 2007: 1.30) by Czech specialists. The effect of the HA-iodine complex was studied on 18 patients suffering from complicated foot diabetic wounds. The HA-iodine complex was either spread directly over the wound, or more frequently, gauze was immersed in the HA-iodine complex and then put on/into the wound.

 

Results

Clinical improvement was observed in the majority. This suggests that the HA-iodine complex dressing has potential that needs to be developed from controlled studies.
