Clinical Study

Prospective Randomized Controlled Study of Hemostatic Efficacy with Kaolin-Impregnated Dressings in Diabetic Foot Ulcers Taking Anticoagulants Undergoing Debridement in an Outpatient Clinic

Figure 1

Serial hemostatic procedures of conventional manual compression dressing using a kaolin-impregnated dressing (study group) or dry gauze (control group) for a diabetic foot ulcer after surgical debridement. (a) Devitalized margin of the diabetic foot ulcer was debrided using a surgical blade. (b) Application of kaolin-impregnated dressing after soaking to the ulcerative wound using sterilized forceps. (c) Manual compression with constant pressure.
