An evaluation of an ultrasonic debridement system in patients with DFUs: a case series

“

Distal strategies for revascularization, overloading and infection control may not be sufficient in a treatment program programmed to treat DFUs. Accurate preparation of the wound bed affects the positive outcome of regenerative reconstructive surgery. Selective debris is essential to preserve the biomechanics of the foot in these patients who are often also in their working age, with a lower impact on employment. The reduced times of surgical debridement, in light of the financial burden of the clinical treatment times, can be advantageous and supports the best allocation of resources. The cost of disposable handpieces can be amortized if a device shortens hospitalization time, reduces postoperative complications and therefore reduces outpatient care. The trend in surgery and, more generally, in modern medicine is to encourage less invasive surgical methods reduce postoperative recovery times and bring patients back to an active life.
