Brief Summary

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are challenging to treat with complicated healing processes and require advanced wound care. Piscean collagen has the potential to promote the regenerative process while remaining cost-effective and with minimal side effects. In this study, the efficacy of a piscean collagen matrix dressing was compared with a standard dressing of saline-moistened gauze for wound healing in patients with neuropathic DFU. This is a double-blinded, randomised clinical trial.
