An open, non-comparative, multi-centre post marketing clinical follow-up, PMCF, investigation to evaluate performance and safety on diabetic foot ulcer, dfu, when using mepilex transfer Ag as intended.
Approximately 25-30 subjects from two to three centers will be evaluated provided they fulfill the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria and gives a signed and dated consent. Subjects to be included were to suffer from a DFU and being in need of anti-microbial wound dressing. Dressing changes were to performed according to the local clinical routine (usually 3 times/week), evaluated during a total treatment period of maximum 4 weeks including weekly visits when assessments were being done. A record (dressing log) for Mepilex Transfer Ag and outer layers were to be filled in at every dressing change. Photos taken directly upon dressing removal and after cleansing /debridement were to be collected to visually follow the ulcers status. At each visit the investigators/nurse and subjects opinion (using an evaluation form) were to be asked for questions considering the use of Mepilex Transfer Ag. Pain before, during and after removal will be assessed.
