Management of hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers: local use of autologous leucocytes, platelets and fibrin multi-layered patches (LeucoPatch)
Abstract
Hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent a clinical challenge for physicians and healthcare systems worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 77% of DFUs heal within 1 year in specialised tertiary care European hospitals (1,2). DFUs are associated with impoverished quality of life and a high cost for healthcare services (3).
