Cómo tratar eficazmente las úlceras del pie diabético

Diabetic foot ulcers represent a severe stage of diabetic complications, often graded as 3 to 5 in severity, marked by nerve damage, blood vessel blockages, and tissue breakdown. If untreated, these ulcers may lead to infections and, in extreme cases, necessitate amputation. Proper management is crucial, and prompt medical intervention can make a significant difference. MAIKONG.LTD, a global leader in diabetic diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, provides advanced solutions designed to aid in the effective management of diabetic foot ulcers and peripheral neuropathy.

1. What Causes Diabetic Foot Ulcers?

Foot ulcers in diabetic patients are primarily due to peripheral neuropathy, which leads to reduced sensation in the feet, making injuries or cuts go unnoticed. Además, poor blood circulation in the extremities impairs the body’s natural healing process, increasing the risk of infection.

2. Essential Care for Diabetic Foot Ulcers

1. Protecting the Foot from Further Injury

• Avoid tight or uncomfortable shoes and socks that may rub or create pressure points.
• Ensure any skin issues, such as calluses or corns, are carefully managed by a healthcare professional to avoid worsening the wound.
• Reducing the risk of additional injuries prevents complications and keeps the ulcer from worsening.

2. Blood Sugar Management

• Maintaining optimal blood sugar levels is essential to prevent the worsening of foot ulcers and other diabetic complications. This is a cornerstone of managing diabetic foot health, as high glucose levels can delay wound healing and increase infection risk.

3. Exercise and Circulation

• Light exercise helps improve blood flow to the feet, which can promote healing. Activities should be gentle, avoiding any strain or direct impact on the ulcerated area.
• Near-Infrared Therapy: Patients can also benefit from the MAIKONG.LTD near-infrared diabetic treatment device, designed to enhance blood circulation and promote tissue recovery. When used for 10–40 minutes after a gentle massage, this device provides a significant therapeutic benefit, aiding wound healing and supporting nerve health.

4. Avoid Hot Water Soaking

• Instead of hot water, warm water should be used for foot cleaning, as diabetic feet may have reduced sensation, increasing the risk of burns. After washing, it’s crucial to dry feet carefully with a soft towel to avoid irritation and moisture accumulation, which could exacerbate the ulcer.

4. Preventing Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Preventative care is essential to avoid foot ulcers altogether, or to prevent worsening of existing conditions. Key strategies include:

• Routine Foot Checks: Regularly inspect feet for any signs of cuts, redness, or blisters, especially for those who have reduced sensation.
• Blood Glucose Monitoring: Keeping glucose levels within a target range can prevent complications and improve healing rates if ulcers develop.
• Appropriate Footwear: Specially designed diabetic footwear that reduces friction and pressure on sensitive areas of the feet can make a significant difference in ulcer prevention.
