Abstract

Background: Treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) sometimes takes a long time. During treatment, the patient's feet are usually given a cushion (such as a sleeping pillow or bolster) to make the wound seen. This way, some patients reported that their feet tingled because they were not positioned rightly for an extended period. So far, no unique pillow is available for this function. This pillow would help in treating DFU and should be comfortable for patients. Thus, it is essential to research designing such a product.Purpose: To develop and test a special pillow for treating DFU.Methods: This research adopts Research and Development (R&D). This research is divided into two stages: designing and developing and product testing.Results: This pillow is made of multiplex and foam, covered with Polyester fabric. It is 75mm in length and 45mm in width. It is equipped with a foot care area and waste storage tank. The test results showed that the score for comfort for the patients was 92%, while the score from the nurse was 88%.Conclusion:The pillow product helps the nurse conduct the DFU treatment and is comfortable for the patients.

用于糖尿病足伤口护理的创新型支撑枕

背景：治疗糖尿病足溃疡（DFU）有时需要很长时间。在治疗过程中，通常会给患者的双脚提供一个垫子（如睡枕或长枕），使伤口被看到。这样一来，一些患者报告说，由于长时间没有摆正位置，他们的脚会刺痛。迄今为止，还没有一种独特的枕头具有这种功能。这种枕头有助于治疗 DFU，而且应该让患者感觉舒适。目的：开发并测试一种治疗 DFU 的特殊枕头：本研究采用研究与开发（R&D）方法。研究分为两个阶段：设计开发和产品测试：该枕头由多孔材料和泡沫塑料制成，外覆涤纶织物。它的长度为 75 毫米，宽度为 45 毫米。它配有脚部护理区和废物储存罐。测试结果显示，患者的舒适度得分率为 92%，护士的得分率为 88%。
