Enhancing Wound Healing in Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Case Report of Topical Oxygen Therapy with Granulox®.

Abstract

Chronic diabetic foot ulcers pose significant challenges in wound management, often necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches to promote healing. This case report highlights the efficacy of Granulox®, a topical hemoglobin spray designed to enhance oxygen supply to chronic wounds, in conjunction with standard care. An 84-year-old male with a longstanding diabetic foot ulcer demonstrated remarkable improvement following the addition of Granulox® to his treatment regimen. Significant reduction in ulcer size, resolution of clinical signs of infection, and improvement in peri-wound skin condition were observed within weeks of initiating Granulox® therapy. The patient-reported decrease in pain severity and the ultimately complete healing of the ulcer underscore the potential of topical oxygen therapy as an adjunctive modality in wound management. This case report contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the efficacy and ease of use of Granulox® in promoting wound healing, particularly in chronic diabetic foot ulcers.
