Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment Q&A

What Is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound, typically on the bottom of the foot, that doesn’t heal due to poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by diabetes. These ulcers are common in diabetic patients and, if untreated, can lead to serious infections and limb loss.

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

  • Open wound or sore on the foot
  • Redness or swelling
  • Drainage or foul odor
  • Pain or numbness
  • Skin discoloration around the wound

If you notice any of these symptoms, seek prompt care from a wound care specialist in St. Petersburg to prevent serious complications.

Our Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treatment Approach

At Stat Care Pulmonary and Sleep, we combine evidence-based medicine with personalized care. Caitlin Lynch, APRN brings advanced critical care knowledge to every wound case, ensuring you receive the highest standard of treatment.

Our services include:

  • Comprehensive Wound Assessment – We evaluate the size, depth, infection risk, circulation status, and contributing factors.
  • Debridement (Tissue Removal) – We gently remove dead or infected tissue to jumpstart healing and prevent infection.
  • Offloading and Pressure Relief – Custom footwear, total contact casting, or walking boots help take pressure off the wound.
  • Advanced Dressings and Topical Therapy – We use state-of-the-art dressings to maintain optimal moisture and healing environment.
  • Infection Management – If bacteria are present, we provide targeted antibiotic therapy and wound cleaning protocols.
