Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are the leading cause of lower-limb amputations. Some studies indicate that chitosan products may have potential wound healing properties, but the efficacy and safety in DFUs treatment is not well studied. Efficacy and safety of a chitosan-based gel in treatment of DFUs were evaluated. The chitosan-based gel accelerated the healing process of DFUs and significantly improved wound state after 10 weeks and showed a safety profile comparable to placebo.
