Abstract
This review examines several of the recently introduced wound care products that have been put forward as treatment modalities for the diabetic foot u lcer. Discussed are the results of clinical trials with the platelet-derive d growth factor, becaplermin, the tissue-engineered products Dermagraft and Apligraf, and Hyaff which is an ester of hyaluronic acid. In patients with an infected foot ulcer, encouraging results were obtained with the granulo cyte-colony stimulating factor, Filgrastim. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
