Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. About %51 of patients with diabetes will experience a diabetic foot ulcer in their lifetime and precedes %41 of all diabetes-related lower-leg amputations ( Brem et al., 7002).
Foot ulceration has been reported as the leading cause of hospital admission and amputation in individuals with diabetes. Diabetes-related foot ulcers require multidisciplinary management and best practice care, including debridement, offloading, dressings, management of infection, modified footwear and management of extrinsic factors(Michailidis et al.,7002).
Ulcer debridement is a commonly applied management approach involving removal of non-viable tissue from the ulcer bed. Different methods of debridement are autolytic debridement via moist wound healing, mechanical debridement utilizing wet to dry dressings, theatre based sharps debridement, biological debridement, non-surgical sharps debridement and newer technology such as low frequency ultrasonic debridement(Michailidis et al.7002).
