Successful Treatment of Moderately Ischaemic DFUs Using Intermittent Topical Oxygen
Summary: Post-hoc analysis of RCT (n=moderate ischaemia DFUs) showed intermittent topical oxygen (TWO2) achieved 39% complete healing at 12 weeks vs 0% sham (p<0.0076). Multimodal mechanism: oxygenation, cyclical compression, humidification. Home-use device; suggests efficacy in ischaemic DFUs traditionally challenging for adjuncts.
Key Highlights:
- Healing: 39% vs 0% at 12 weeks.
- Mechanism: Oxygen + compression + humidity.
- Device: Portable home-use.
