Diabetic foot is one of the common complications of diabetic patients. With the aggravation of the disease, foot infection, gangrene and other problems may lead to amputation. However, in recent years, with the development of advanced diabetic foot care models, amputation rates have decreased significantly, a phenomenon that has attracted widespread attention.

Advances in medical technology:

Diabetic Foot Care Model

Advanced medical technology has provided a new breakthrough for the treatment of diabetic foot. Modern care models combine integrated interventions with technology, including personalized treatment plans, diabetes control, local blood flow improvement, wound treatment, and infection management. With early intervention and precision treatment, many patients have avoided amputation.

For example, the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can effectively promote wound healing and reduce the incidence of infection. At the same time, bioremediation materials and stem cell therapy are also widely used in the treatment of severe diabetic feet, which can significantly improve local blood circulation and repair damaged tissues, thereby reducing the risk of amputation.

Industry expert views:

Industry experts agree that the implementation of an advanced diabetic foot care model, especially when based on multidisciplinary collaboration, can effectively reduce amputation rates. Through blood sugar control, foot protection, wound management, and regular medical check-ups for diabetics, risk factors can be identified at an early stage and effective measures can be taken to prevent the disease from worsening.

Data support:

According to data from a study in the Journal of Diabetes Care, patients with diabetic feet who underwent a comprehensive care intervention had a more than 30% reduction in amputation rates compared to traditional care. Another study from the American Diabetes Association showed that patients with diabetic feet who used a comprehensive care model had a 40% reduction in the chance of having an amputation within three years.

In general, with the continuous progress of medical technology and the continuous improvement of care models, advanced diabetic foot care models can indeed significantly reduce the amputation rate of diabetic feet, help patients extend limb function and improve quality of life.
