Abstract

Majority of non-traumatic lower limb amputations are related to diabetes. In most cases a plantar ulcer precedes which follows a callus formation. Callus formation accompanies neuropathy. Callus is known to known to increase local pressure and this is ulcerogenic. Most important aspect of management of a DFU is offloading which intends to reduce pressure of the body from the ulcer region. Many methods of offloading are available which are costly, time consuming and often need an expert technician to apply. We at LK Diabetes centre devised a method of offloading which is instant, most economical and needs no special training. It is called the “Samadhan System of Offloading”.
