Successful Treatment of Moderately Ischaemic DFUs Using Intermittent Topical Oxygen Therapy
Summary: This case series reports positive outcomes in patients with moderately ischaemic diabetic foot ulcers treated with standard care plus intermittent topical oxygen therapy. The addition of topical oxygen supported healing in wounds that had previously stalled, offering a non-invasive adjunctive option for ischaemic DFUs where vascular intervention may be limited or delayed.
Key Highlights:
- Successful healing in moderately ischaemic DFUs
- Well-tolerated adjunct to standard wound care
- Potential role in bridging gaps before or instead of revascularisation
- Promising results in real-world challenging cases
