Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) don’t just have a high infection risk, a high recurrence rate, and a strong link to amputation — their presence signals a mortality risk up to 2.5× compared to persons with diabetes without DFUs.¹-⁵

However, the seriousness of this risk often remains unspoken.

In Episode 4 of our DFU Spotlight Series, leading experts discuss:
- Why DFU risks are sometimes misunderstood
- What clinicians need to know about recurrence and mortality
- Where there is a lack of awareness for the complications of DFUs

🎥 Hear directly from the experts on why this issue warrants more attention.

NEW STUDY shows that skin protection with Aquacel® Foam Pro dressing can help prevent pressure injuries¹.

Zero injuries due to skin breakdown were observed over 7 days among high-risk ICU patients in this study, which highlights microclimate management as a novel skin protection strategy¹.

Hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers (VLUs) often face a common obstacle: slough⁶ and biofilm.⁸

While debridement is a critical part of wound bed preparation, achieving and maintaining a clean wound bed can be challenging when biofilm persists. ⁶,⁷

That's why the latest RCT findings¹ for Aquacel® Ag+ Extra™ with MORE THAN SILVER™ technology are worth a closer look.

In a 12-week multi-country, multi-centre RCT involving hard-to-heal VLUs:
- 95.7% of wounds were fully debrided by Week 12
- Slough was reduced by an average of 88% over 12 weeks
- Sustained improvement in slough reduction was achieved throughout the study period.²

But these outcomes are about MORE THAN debridement alone.

Aquacel® Ag+ Extra™ combines Hydrofiber™ technology with MORE THAN SILVER™ technology to help manage biofilm alongside antimicrobial activity, supporting continuous wound cleaning and progressive removal of slough.²-⁵

Swipe through to see why it takes MORE THAN SILVER™ to support wound healing outcomes.

Amputations are one of the most significant complications of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). DFUs precede 85% of diabetes-related amputations —accounting for a significant source of disability worldwide.¹ ²

In our third episode of the DFU Spotlight Series, experts look at the lack of a spotlight on the most severe complications of DFUs.

🎥 Watch to learn from the experts on what makes amputations so life-altering.

What does it take to achieve sustained debridement in hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers?

According to recent RCT evidence¹, it may take MORE THAN SILVER.

Aquacel® Ag+ Extra™ with MORE THAN SILVER™ technology demonstrated:

- 95.7% complete debridement by Week 12
- An average 88% reduction in slough over 12 weeks
- Sustained improvement in slough reduction throughout the study period.²

These results highlight the importance of addressing one of the biggest barriers to healing: biofilm.⁶

By combining Hydrofiber™ technology with MORE THAN SILVER™ antibiofilm and antimicrobial action, Aquacel® Ag+ Extra™ supports continuous wound cleaning and progressive removal of slough, helping clinicians achieve and maintain a cleaner wound bed.²-⁵

When managing hard-to-heal VLUs, the conversation isn't just about silver. It's about what MORE THAN SILVER™ can do.

In a recent study, Aquacel® Foam Pro maintained sacral humidity by absorbing excess moisture, and stabilised skin temperature to mitigate skin breakdown¹.

How does the design of the dressing contribute to skin protection?

- Hydrofiber® Technology maintains optimal skin microclimate and preserves skin integrity¹.

- Polyurethane foam redistributes pressure and prevents skin ischemia¹.

- Silicone adhesive enables easy repositioning, reducing skin trauma¹.

For Terry, confidence in his dressing made a real difference 🩹

Here’s a snippet of our conversation where he shares how the dressing stayed securely in place, helping protect the seal throughout his recovery - from those first few weeks after surgery to gradually reducing his crutches and getting moving again.

It’s a reminder that wound care can play an important role in helping people feel reassured, supported and able to focus on healing.

For patients living with hard-to-heal wounds, having the right support can literally change everything ❤️‍🩹

We sat down with Sylvia as she described the immense pain she experienced with a leg wound that wasn’t getting better. After being referred to Helena, community wound care nurse specialist, it was clear a good clean was needed.¹

Wound Hygiene² is a biofilm-based protocol of care created to help give hard-to-heal wounds the best possible opportunity to progress towards healing. In the Wound Hygiene Challenge, more than 600 patients with hard-to-heal wounds experienced an average wound volume reduction of 80% within just 31 days.³
