Evaluation of Materials for the Distribution of Pressure in the Treatment of Neuroischemic Ulcers
Sponsor: University of Valencia
Summary
The hypothesis of this study is based on the premise that pressure-distributing materials with superior biomechanical and tissue response properties will be capable of improving the healing rate of neuropathic ulcers. The overarching objective of the present project is to assess the influence of the nature and method of application of the materials under study on tissue response, the reduction of pressure on the sole of the foot, and the healing of neuropathic ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus.
