Background: One of the most common causes of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and/or arteriovenous graft (AVG) failure is thrombosis. Guidelines recommend early AVF salvage within 24-48 hours. Our institution reported poor compliance with these recommendations, with a median of 3 days prior to vascular access (VA) salvage.

Diabetic foot wounds (DFW) are notoriously difficult to treat owing to poor vascularity, delayed healing and higher rates of infection. Human-derived acellular dermal matrices (ADM) have been used in DFW treatment, utilizing a matrix scaffold for new tissue generation. We investigate the efficacy of a micronized injectable human-derived ADM in the treatment of DFW.

Introduction: Diabetes foot disease (DFD) contributes to poor quality of life, clinical and economic burden. Multidisciplinary diabetes foot teams provide prompt access to specialist teams thereby improving limb salvage. We present a 17-year review of an inpatient multidisciplinary clinical care path (MCCP) for DFD in Singapore.

Objective: Mechanical negative pressure wound therapy is an ultraportable, light weight and disposable single-use device that has been shown to promote wound healing. This study evaluated home use of a mechanically powered negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in diabetic foot wounds.

Methods: Patients underwent revascularisation and/or debridement or amputation before starting mechanical NPWT.
