  • - Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant and expensive issue for diabetes patients, leading to increased healthcare costs and morbidity.
  • - A study compared two treatments for DFUs: a high-purity type-I collagen skin substitute (HPTC) and dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) over four weeks, with 28 patients participating.
  • - Results showed that HPTC led to better healing outcomes, with 85.71% of patients achieving at least 50% wound size reduction compared to 50% for dHACM, suggesting HPTC may be a more effective treatment for chronic DFUs.
