First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tested a special oxygen-enriched oil-based dressing on diabetic foot ulcers that form after surgery. Forty adults with diabetes took part and were randomly assigned to get either the new dressing or standard wound care. The main goal was to see if the ulcer healed completely within 16 weeks. The study was small and designed to gather early information for future larger trials.
